When Humanity Falls Apart

When Humanity Falls Apart

News of road mishaps has become more frequent than even. But, the lack of proper actions following the horrific accidents is aiding the recklessness of the drivers. Moreover, the malevolent attitude towards the victims forces one to question the sense of humanity left among us.

A private car driver I know had undergone a deadly mishap and its dismal consequences about two months ago. The dreadful accident took place on the Bangabandhu Multipurpose Bridge, as a truck had violently hit it. He was badly injured and was stuck inside the car. What happens by and large after such an event is that people flock around the accident spot. But shockingly enough, the hands these people lent were not to help him out but to snatch his belongings away! While the wounded driver was consistently crying out for help, these people kept on robbing him off, ignoring the call of humanity.
