This is getting weird. Just after I
wrote my previous letter about
Fire at Third Floor of My Previous High School SMA 3, another
accident occurred in the nearby main electric power relay station.
At around 12.30 in the afternoon, one of the cell in the 20.000 volt
Setiabudi main relay station exploded, causing fire. A related blast
occurred in the underground high voltage cable in front of a food
stall, causing four people injured, one of them later on died in the
hospital from a severe nearly 100% second degree burn.
I certainly hope it has nothing to do
with me.
The accident created a black out in the
surrounding area, that happened to be the first class office
buildings location. While some housing area of middle lower people
also affected, making the people have to wait in line to get water
for their daily activities since they usually depend on electric
water pump to get water.
My deepest condolence to Mr.
Asroli, a 30 year old construction labor who died in the accident
after he was affected by the blast when he was just finished his
lunch in the food stall.

An Indonesian engineer examines
water shooting out of the ground in a house in Sidoarjo,
East Java June 16, 2007. Huge bursts of water have been
shooting out of the ground in homes and at least one
abandoned restaurant hundreds of metres away from swathes of
land submerged by a mud volcano on Indonesia's Java island.
Experts say the bursts are caused by underground pressure
linked to torrents of mud gushing out of a drilling site
near the industrial suburb of Sidoarjo in East Java for more
than a year.

Hectares of land are flooded by
hot mud from an oil and gas exploration well operated by
local company Lapindo Brantas in Sidoarjo August 8, 2006. A
major toll road in Indonesia has been forced to close after
hot mud pouring out of an exploratory oil well engulfed a
large section of the highway, an official at a state
transport firm said on Tuesday.

After more than one year
since the mud flooding hectares of area in Sidoarjo, on
16 June 2007 a new huge bursts of water have been
shooting out of the ground among the abandoned homes and
restaurants. It is hundreds of meters away from swathes
of land submerged by the mud gushing out of a drilling
site near the industrial suburb of Sidoarjo in East
Java.
Like in the above photo, the
new huge bursts of water looks like a standing dead man
wrapped by a shroud. In Indonesia, a dead person usually
is wrapped by a shroud made of white fabric. Such a dead
person wrapped by white shroud is usually called "pocong".
In certain cases, though rare, a living person
intentionally wrapped by such white shroud to do an
"oath of pocong", to prove of his or her innocence after
suffering from some accusations that can not be proved
in the ordinary court.
For me this
photo is like to confirm my consent to move out of this
world. Especially since this water shooting out in the
house of Herman, whose name sounds a little bit like my
name Firman, at Desa Jatirejo RT 4 RW 1,
Jenggolo Street, Porong.
