No one will ever wish to have the type of deadly experience many passengers on the same flight with Estenba Santiago on Friday and others at the Fort Lauderdale airport, where Santiago loaded a gun and went on rampage.
To many people who watched the hell of a drama as it unfolded on the television screen, wished it had never happened, and that it represented a movie, and the type they had watched in movie theaters that were unreal.
But in these days, as witnesses to evil in many holy places, we have come to accept that anything is possible of hapeening in any place. The news of people being shot on the head by a lone gun man is no longer a strange phenomenon.
Just few weeks ago, the world watched a Russian ambasador killed delvering a speech at an art show. The americas is no longer the only new world, the entire world is now a representative of the new world with bizarre happenings becoming like normal occurrences.
It is the headline in the two major New York newspapers this Saturday. The Daily News report says,"Terrorism in Terminal 2" and New York Post reports says "Hearing Voices in the Head". What made the scene at the airport on Friday spectacular was the way people were shown running for safety, hiding away from insecurity and the readiness to do anything to avoid untmely death.
It shows that the sound of a gun is not a sign for safety. It is a sound that denotes that danger and death lurk around somewhere. People said they heard gun shot in Terminal 1, but authorities said the gun shot was only at Terminal 2. People ran anyway, toward any direction they could be sure of safety, and since there were no where they were sure of sfaety in the circumstance, people just ran toward any direction security personnel directed them, and hopod their lives could be intact at the end.
It was a case of death in the baggage. Questions were asked by experts who began their debates on televisions on Friday terrorism and how to curb and about why Santaigo chose traveling with a gun from Anchorage in Alaska to Fort lauderdale and why what made that airport a special place for him to commit murders. It is one question that experts have not got an answer.
Santaigo was reprotedly discharged form the Alaska national Guard unsatisfactorily four months ago, but still he carried a valid militray id card. People are asking why has not the id be taken away from him the moment he has been sent away from the service? It is still to be ascertained whether the gun he used at the airport after he loaded it at the baggage claim area was one of the guns he bought legally or a different gun.
But people are certain that without the valid military id in Santiago's ability to carry a gun in his baggage would have been impossible, and that the Friday's episode proves once again how authorities create lapses in security and allow unnecessary wastage of innocent lives, but later to resort to swan songs about terrorism and the likes.
Santiage may be hearing millions of voices, he would have required real battle to put a bgun in a bag in the aircraft without the valid military id.
Although, many people say that there are organizations that make the mistake of allowing their former employees to go away with the id, and that the first thing any serious organization does at the end of any employees' service is the withdrawal of the id, often refers as the organization's property, and if lost anf found, to be returned to the the organization's address, to safe guard it from falling into wrong hands.
We will only be safe, when dangerous people, whether they hear voices or belong to one finger pointing club, as one as a picture in The Mail newspaper shows Santiago in similarity with some others, can no longer slip gun or bomb in the lugggage. ..
