Bus Bombing in Jerusalem |
|
|
Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Wed Mar 23 09:44:56 2011 I'm OK, I heard the explosion from my office (it would take me about 10 minutes to walk to where it happened from where I am now), can't really believe it. There were sirens on police cars passing by non stop for nearly 30 minutes but that has mostly ceased. They are saying 24 injured, including 3-4 serious injuries, the bomber may have not actually been on the bus but rather right next to it, but details are coming out slowly, much remains to be seen. Here is a short article from HaAretz: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/explosion-at-bus-stop-in-central-jerusalem-25-reportedly-wounded-1.351377 |

Hezzy and Hamas gives the family a very nice house...but Saddam was big into the money but now that he's gone...Obviously the money trail is easy to spot, but I haven't heard anything regarding Mahmoud personally financing anything myself. |

Only Western people and those who are our equals deserve Western justice. Israel should not only execute terrorists summarily, but their families as well.Also, the next time there's a prisoner exchange between Israel and Lebanon or something, they should poison the terrorists on their release with a NONCOMMUNICABLE illness that would kill them in a matter of days. |

Here is a photo of the bus involved in today's bombing, taken back on Sunday morning: From the photos I've seen, some windows were blown out. I have no way of knowing how these things work, but I'd like to think the bus will be repaired and returned to service. Nothing like showing the terrorists who think they can disrupt our lives and destroy our infrastructure and society that we will simply rebuild and move on. |

I took that photo within minutes and feet of quite a number of the photos I posted of the buses with the Purim signage, but I didn't post that one to BusChat or OTChat. The bus had no real significance at the time I took the photo and I didn't consider the photo to be among the best of the bunch. I realized I had it today when looking through my photos to see if I had a photo of the bus involved in today's terror attack. |

Re: PHOTO of the bus from the Bus Bombing in Jlem last March -- Bus Back in Service |

Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Dec 22 17:47:09 2011, in response to PHOTO of the bus from 3 days ago: Re: Bus Bombing in Jerusalem, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Wed Mar 23 17:56:43 2011. On the day of the bus bombing in Jerusalem back in March, I wrote the following in a post with a photo of the bus that was bombed that I had taken three days earlier. "From the photos I've seen, some windows were blown out. I have no way of knowing how these things work, but I'd like to think the bus will be repaired and returned to service. Nothing like showing the terrorists who think they can disrupt our lives and destroy our infrastructure and society that we will simply rebuild and move on."I'm pleased to report that out of this tragedy, in which an innocent woman lost her life, there is a ray of light of sorts (appropriate for Chanukah). I don't know when it happened, but the bus involved is back in service. I took the photo of it that appears below tonight. It is running out of the same Egged branch that it was in March, and on the same route that it was doing at the time of the bombing. I stand by what I said back in May, there is nothing like showing the terrorists who think they can disrupt our lives and destroy our infrastructure and society that we will simply rebuild and move on. I'm pleased to see this bus back in service and hope that some day, these sorts of incidents will not occur.

They're designed for such man-made disasters and I'd ask if Bibi reinstated the patrols that was cut, but I don't think rebuilding the most expensive buses in the world is a ray of light in the loss of life in a hate-crime murder intent on inflicting genocide.The ray of light for that would be a UN condemnation of the incident. After the minute of silence for Kim Jong Il obviously, we must keep our priorities in order. |
