an explosion at the shipyard today. it was quite serious. the whole ceiling was shaking when the explosion took place. kind of scare me. everyone crowded around the piping work shop just to catch a glimpse. i was all the way at the front. safety officers were running about. and security blocked the route to the work shop. i saw 7 bangaladash worker on the floor. they were injured slightly. i thought that was all. until i heard someone screaming rather painfully from inside the work shop. yes. someone had been badly injured in there. when he was being carried out on a stretcher, most turned away. they feared to look at something really bloody. and i wish i turned away too. but well... i didn't. it was scary. he was bleeding so badly. even the thick bandages around his head couldn't stop the bleeding. the ambulance took forever to come. are those people trying to cover up or what? this is human life we are talking about here. just because they came from a foreign country doesn't mean they should be treated indifferently. that is unfair. the ambulance finally came after 10 min? 10 min is something in times of emerency. 20 stitches on his head i heard. that entire incident although seem so insignificant had caused quite an impact on me. it was scary and at the same time saddening. is that reality? how can people even not care about someone else's life? the safety officer even had the cheek to say things like that injury won't kill him? wth. as a safety officer, you should be ashame of yourself! you disgust me totally! yes. the worker doesn't earn as much as you. and yes. the worker is not as well educated as you. but that doesn't mean you can say such things. you should be sacked, ass hole!
