On 8 August 2009(Singapore's national day eve, Taiwan's Father's Day)something terrible happened to Taiwan.The most serious flood in the past 50 years striked Taiwan caused by the heavy rain and typhoon.The flood had taken away lots of lives and houses.Eg. a place called xiao lin chun( a village originally with 200 plus houses, now due to the flood, only 2 houses left.)Alot of people died, but the no. of death could not be estimated as till now its still flooding and they said that as it was father's day that day so many people went back to celebrate, thus they could not estimate the amount of people in the village.
ytd 3 people from the rescue team, while trying to transport the necessity to the villages, their helicopter crashed onto the mountain.Other rescue team found their helicopter in the evening, but could not find the bodies of the 3 person, as the sky was getting darker, so they could not continue their research. Till this morning around 9 plus,unfortunately they found their bodies and deliver them back to their hometown.For this I really felt really sad when i heard that, I find them really noble to sacrifice their own lives to save others. As from what the news reported, as the sky is getting dark, they are not suppose to carry out anymore transportation ytd, but becos the 3 of them feel that by transporting those necessity once again, they will be able to save more lives, so they decided to carry on their mission. And unfortunately, such things happened to them.
I wrote all this not becos i have nth better to do or that i am emo kid, but becos that for the past few days i had been watching the Taiwan news on channel 49, and i felt really sad and i really pity them. cos in a single everything is gone for them, until now 5 days passed, yet alot of people is still missing, died, houses are all flood, people sacrificed their lives to save others,many village are now destroyed,people over their do not have enough basic necessities,all the farms are flooded.
After watching them i really feel that life is short, anything can happen to anyone at anytime and everything will be gone.With this I hope that we can really treasure what we have and not take everything for granted.And i really hope that Taiwan will recover from this serious flood, although till now its still very serious.

Below are some videos about what is happening to Taiwan now.
