Life is so fragile, so vulnerable...it's a game of chance

I was tucking in to my noodles, when in a split second, I heard a crash followed by squeals from some people. Then, I felt as if I was in a dream, a terrible dream. I saw a giant structure of metal tilting, falling, and then, a final gigantic crash, before clouds of dust drifted up and people started trying to figure out what had happened. I prayed that it was just a simple malfunction of machines, I hoped that no one would be harmed. But I learnt that the innocent machine was guilty afterall. I learnt that Superman exists only in people's hearts, because I saw today that, life is so fragile, so unpredictable. This has affected me greatly, but it has taught me to treasure life, and to fight for life.
