Interrupted Journey

A terrorist bomb attacked the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, on the 7 of August, 1998. The Kenyan building next to the embassy collapsed. Hundreds of the Kenyans were trapped under the debris. Soon after, the embassy was sealed off by the US marines. Helicopters and ambulances started to arrive to rescue the people in the embassy. No help was offered from the American side to the Kenyan side. The Kenayans climed the debris and started a bear-hand rescue operation.The same human being were dying. But one was carried away with a helicopter, and the other was carried away on a broken door. The bomb aimed at the embassy killed 213 Kenyas and 12 Americans. The Kenyans did not understand why they had to lose so many lives. The Kenyans questioned, "Why us?" No one has the answer.
