Jakarta Bombings
I was not at the spot when it happened and my wife, who was, is very well. It feels a bit strange if you live just 200 m away from the scene of a terrorist bombing attack. The city is crowded now and my wife reports the way to the airport – where she is scheduled for a flight this evening – is jammed with cars because many people want to leave the town to relax just somewhere out.
The picture was not taken by me. By the way, you do not see very much. This is because of the smoke that blocks your view. The smoke is exactly where only minutes before a restaurant was in which a lot of people had a peaceful breakfast. Until the blast. To me it is very hard to see what makes people do such awful things. This is a rather lame statement and I know it but people died, I do not know why and I do not know what else to say.
