Recent airplane accident of Continental Connection Flight 3407
that crashed into a house in suburban Buffalo becomes important to write here after I spot some seemingly
reminders for me. The plane is a Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 of Continental Airlines, causing the victims of
49 people onboard and one on the ground, making 50 victims.
The flight number, 3407, which contains number 40, seems like related
with my consent to become zero, to move to the eternity, because my name is Firman whereas in Dutch or German
"fir" has the meaning of "four".
Number of victims onboard the plane is 49, like related with my previous letter
"Ninth Dream Comes True" written on 9 February 2009.
And the most important thing is regarding my drafting inside my head another
letter which was planned to be titled "Legend Of Bill War Buff". It is based on my experience in 1989 when
working at the American Express, whereas the American boss was Mr. Bill Mould, while the supervisor was Mr. Wardy Bafagih.
In Indonesian, the syllable "Baf" in the last name Bafagih is read like in the word "Buffalo". Then a few years
later, you Mr. Bill Gates began to take the first place of the world richest person, with Mr. Warren Buffett
at the second place, and it unprecedently remained for more than ten years. It becomes like
a "Legend of Bill War Buff".
Although a draft for the planned letter "Legend of Bill War Buff"
had been in my mind for several days, I still postpone writing it. Partly because I needed to write some other letters,
and mostly because I was worry that my writing it would only caused me to get ridiculed by some people, as if I only
try to take advantage by connecting those seemingly merely coincidental matters.
After the plane crash of flight 3407 in suburban Buffalo,
I no longer think to have such worry again. I think the message from this accident is that there is
something serious behind the "Legend of Bill War Buff" matter that needs to be follow up, or my existence
in this world will keep in the tendency of triggering disasters.
