Three dots in the post title has a meaning of continuity which started after a stunned pause exactly one year ago.
They say, you seldom get a second chance to rectify your mistakes or do what you were supposed to do during the times. Right now, moving in the flashback of what happened last spring, gives me goosebumps and gives me a feeling that of a bad nightmarish experience. An event that united 7 lives for the years to come, would not be forgotten.
Year: 2011
Date: 17th April
Day: Sunday (morning)
Time: 9:00 am
Place: Inter-State highway 79, Morgantown, West Virginia.
On road drivers were stunned when they came to know that what they expected to an action sequence from a Hollywood movie, was one of the tragic incidents that one would have seen and experienced in their lives. A group of 7 youngsters were returning back after a friend's marriage from South Carolina to upstate Pennsylvania. Never in their minds would they have thought that they would kiss death and leave it stranded. A sleepless night, after a dance party at the wedding, was supposedly the main culprit behind the accident that took place at the aforementioned place. A poor mis-interpretation of the lane and the curb, just before a planned rest area was the trigger. They never had a chance then to go to the rest area and change the drivers for the remaining drive back home. I could see the car toppling over for at least 2 times (people who saw, say it toppled more than 5 times). In fact, this landed 4 of them to a 2-day rest in a small community hospital for minor injuries and 2 to a 7-10 rest in a bigger multi-specialty hospital for near fatal injuries. Sitting helpless on the road, looking other mates laying on the ground semi-conscious, and waiting for the emergency team to come, I had my entire 25 years of life flash in front of me within 2.5 minutes of the stay on road. Wailing sirens, air ambulance getting down, and cops pulling over, made me feel I was there. A sense of curiosity always revolved during the hospital stay, of how the other two friends were doing. A call from one of them after 4 hours of the incident, made me feel a little comfortable that he's there somewhere, and is been taken care of by a group of life-saving professionals (health care staff).
One would have never expected this in his nightmare to even see this kind of an event, forget about experiencing it.
Life gave us a second chance that moment. We now try to make most of it.
the journey continues... (no period)
