Natural Disaster ( Earthquake )
This picture depicts a scene of a place that had experienced a natural disaster. From the fallen infrastructures in the picture, I can infer that the natural disaster that had occurred will most likely be earthquake. Only earthquake will cause such buildings to fall and since there is no water bodies around in the picture, a tsunami will most likely not be the cause of this disaster. As we can see from the picture, the natural disaster must have experienced quite sometimes ago as many rescuers had already arrived at the scene. The rescuers are already trying to clear away all the destroyed infrastructures and at the same time, they are trying to search for those that are being stuck under it. No matter dead or alive, the rescuers are just trying their best to help as much as they can to save the victims out. From the picture, we can also see that many locals are also trying their best to help, even though they are not a part of the rescue team.

From the picture, I can also infer that many work has to be done as many people is helping out with the rescue of the victims. Even though many people is helping out, there are always some that don't. From the top left hand corner of the picture, we can see a large amount of people. Even though there are many people standing around, they don't even have any intention to help at all. They are just standing there like dummies looking at the commotion, while others are trying their best to save the victims. This kind of action is totally unbelievable. Have they ever wonder what if, it is them that are the ones being stuck down there? What will you feel if no one want to help save you out when you are hoping so they will. The feeling will be terrible when you found out that all the while you are trying to stay alive down there is a waste of time as no one is coming to rescue you at all. There is always a bunch of crowd looking at the commotion only and not helping, whenever an accident or disaster happened. I hope that these bystanders can realize what they are doing now is wrong and should just walk away if they don't feel like helping. They should not just stand there and look at the commotion happening as other people will feel that they are just enjoying the scene of people suffering. There is also a few rescuers that are trying to stop the crowd from coming too close but it doesn't seems to be very effective as the rescuers are being outnumbered. Since they are not helping, why is that a need to push around just to see what is happening. Totally unbelievable!

Judging from the same uniforms the rescuers are wearing, I can infer that they are a specialized group that are being sent to help rescue the victims that are being stuck under the destroyed infrastructures. I am glad that there are people around willing to risk their own lives and help to do a part in rescuing the victims stuck under it. What i admire most is that some of their locals also do a part in helping to rescue the victims under it. This is the spirit I wish to see in the bystanders but from what i see, they are just standing there doing nothing but watching the commotion. I really respect those locals and rescuers because they are willing to risk their own lives just to save the victims out from the fallen infrastructures. From the picture, I can also see that they want to rescue the victims so much until, they even use their bare hands to move away all the huge rocks. They don't mind their hands bleeding as the only thing they care about now is to save as much people out from the fallen infrastructures as possible.

From the picture, I can also see that many love ones are being lost as there are people consoling each other. It was such a sad thing that people died mercilessly because of this earthquake. They are innocent but have to die without any reason. Life is surely unfair in this kind of situation but those who had lost their love ones will just have to accept the fate. Nobody will ever know when or where this natural disaster will come. Seeing those people crying bitterly in the picture, I really felt sad for them but I also felt angry of myself for not being able to help but as what I have just said, fate is fate and we can never prevent it. Natural disaster can never be prevent but we can always prepare for it. By doing this we can increase the chance of survival when a natural disaster happen and can also reduce the damages to the surrounding like falling of the infrastructures or pollution of the land, water and air.

Right now, I can only hope that the victims stuck down there can try their best to stay alive and wait to be rescued. I also hope that the rescuers and locals can successfully save out all the victims. There is also one last thing that I want to say to those that had lost their love ones and that is no matter what bad things you had encounter now, you must accept the fate that you can't change it and always have a positive image of your life and continue to live on happily for the rest of your lives. There is nothing impossible to achieve in your life because it only depends on how well you handle it or how much you put your heart in achieving it.
