I was reminded a beautiful view of the mangroves in both directions of the passage, memories of the good old days in Mullaitivu.
When we reached the tsunami hit bridge, we thought about it and had a close view of the devastated bridge and the surrounding area. In the vicinity, we could see that the LTTE were squad that reconstruct bridge debris under one also allow uninterrupted water flow through the narrow channel excavation, the Indian Ocean and connects the interior Lake. I you approached me and asked me after the tsunami devastation and its effects. Tells the great moments and how you managed to escape at the time of the tsunami tidal waves by jumping on top of the area.
I was horrified as you like all said passengers and vehicles that past were washed away by the powerful waves as were driftwood. Not only lives had devastated the tidal waves but also he robbed the survivors all hope and the implications for existing. The tsunami waves have given a lasting message of humanity, that illusive worldly life is high and natural forces could triumph over your planning and execution. It had washed everything away in seconds.
We had the space conquered and successfully landed on the Moon, but were still struggling to make our own world to cope with natural disasters. We had in controlling nature of Furies. Technological progress and other scientific inventions were unsuccessful. The tsunami had beaten our conscience and was wondering why we so much about the wonders of space as search for solutions for our own worldwide diseases disturbed.
While my thoughts back enabled the tsunami hit bridge and the environment, I focused my attention on the path which we traveled through. I noticed was our six vehicle convoy on its way to us. You waving banners to the vehicles identified our vehicles were.
Suddenly I was scared think this fateful moments on the bridge and what would have happened to me. Oh! I could imagine it. These terrible moments were again gets me. The convoy had approached the bridge and stopped in the vicinity of us. Some of the German training (internship) students got down from their vehicles.
The scenic beauty of the narrow lagoon and the surrounding Palmyra trees everywhere cast a fascination over all, despite that depressed moments. But I had mixed feelings, whether you enjoy the tropical beauty or mourn for those that it were washed away a few days ago.
In a few minutes the most students with us in the convoy, even the girls internal students of the vehicles to have arrived, below. The German television crew was busy, document the lagoon and the surrounding destruction that could transfer over satellite in quite Germany.
The BBC correspondent I travelled asked me to accompany him. But I decided to accompany the convoy and thanked him for his question. I joined the team again. I could make a difference in their faces you find below. To have seen even Illusiveness of this worldly life realised you after the devastation. Is a disgusting smell from decomposed human bodies new year's Eve preaching our nose bridge area and all the way then for some time.
We had passed the devastated Mullaitivu city, now was beyond recognition. Then we will be returned back and achieved city demolished. When we approached the heart of the city Mullaitivu, we could see the devastation wreaked building was completely destroyed. It was difficult to reconcile that a city was formerly.
The Sea Tiger unity of the LTTE cadres at the junction stopped us. She asked our mission, how, who was the first time came the AGSEP into the heart of the LTTE stronghold in Mullaitivu. I explained the LTTE officials and allows us to continue on the tsunami ravaged areas. They sent a member of the sea Tigers with us to guide us.
Our vehicles were very slow the sandy passage, pass the LTTE cadre, a bike ride to. We held our vehicles nearby Beach after massive rubble the tsunami devastation everywhere in the vicinity. We could see hardly a building which had withstood the tidal waves. We all stepped out of our vehicles and said the LTTE members who support us was about the severity of the devastation.
He told us, the bodies from a nearby pond, excavations were which was once a small rainwater catchment and now turned into a salt water pond. The tsunami had beaten once again our conscience and was wondering why we so much about the wonders of space as search for solutions for our own worldwide diseases disturbed.
