kematian itu benar-benar mengejar dan mengajar.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Takut

Flight. aeroplane. aircraft, kapal terbang, pesawat, 飛行機, वायुयान, 비행기가, avião dan apa-apa yang sewaktu dengannya; dulu, saya teringin sangat nak naik. ye la, tak pernah naik sejak kecil..asyik tengok dia terbang je kat atas. hehe. sekarang bila dah berada kat tempat yang memerlukan saya menggunakan pengangkutan awam yang satu ni...saya jadi takut. ya, macam-macam yang terfikir. walaupun sudah beberapa kali naik pun tapi, masih, setiap kali menjejakkan kaki ke dalam perut pesawat sebelum berlepas....selalu terlintas dan terbayang..

"kalau terhempas macam mana ya..?"

na'uzubillahi min zalik. lintasan tu selalu saya matikan dengan cepat-cepat baca doa dan tawakal sangat-sangat kat Allah.

"kat mana-mana pun boleh mati..kalau Allah nak, apapun boleh jadi. "

even sekarang ni, yang macam tengah elok-elok taip depan laptop ni, yang secara logiknya nampak selamat dan takkan la nak ada apa-apa yang bahaya boleh jadi ni pun sebenarnya boleh ja tiba-tiba entah macam mana nafas boleh sesak, jari jemari terus kaku tak boleh nak taip dah....mati. anda yang sedang baca elok-elok, sihat-sihat belaka ni pun..boleh ja, dua tiga saat lepas habiskan ayat terakhir kat sini, tiba-tiba terus ja berpinar-pinar, semua nampak hitam gelap, pekat, collapse dan, mati. kalau Dia nak. kun fa ya kun. jadi, maka jadilah. tak da yang mustahil bagi Allah. to Him; impossible is nothing.

just a second after that.

the tower controller uttered, "Concorde 4590 do you hear me? Concorde 4590 do hear me?"

the was no answer.

.

.

.

Terhempas. Concorde 4590 jatuh betul-betul di atas sebuah hotel. 113 orang terbunuh. 100 penumpang, 9 crew, 4 orang lagi yang berada dalam hotel.

nak tahu kenapa sayap flight ni boleh terbakar? padahal dari segi teknikalnya, everything is fine and ok. memang sebelum boarding, Concorde 4590 dalam keadaan baik. tank, checked. tyres, checked. engine, checked. yup, everything serba serbi was checked. jadi apa yang menjadi masalahnya sehingga boleh terbakar? ada danger chemicals inside the aircraft? nope. or..it was a....bomb there? no, no.. then?

really curious want to know? serious?

if only after you know what actually caused the flames behind the aircraft, i would bet my bottom dollar that you will...sursprizing O_o! or something like this pop-out, "hah? just because of that?!"

here the truth..

The official investigation was conducted by the France's accident investigation bureau, the BEA, and it was published on December 14, 2004. It concluded that the crash was caused by a titanium strip, part of a thrust reverser, that fell from a Continental Airlines DC-10 that had taken off about four minutes earlier. This metal fragment punctured Concorde's tyres, which then disintegrated. A piece of rubber hit the fuel tank and broke an electrical cable. The impact caused a shockwave that fractured the fuel tank some distance from the point of impact. This caused a major fuel leak from the tank, which then ignited. The crew shut down engine number 2 in response to a fire warning but were unable to retract the landing gear, hampering the aircraft's climb. With engine number 1 surging and producing little power, the aircraft was unable to gain height or speed, entering a rapid pitch-up then a violent descent, rolling left. The impact occurred with the stricken aircraft tail-low, crashing into the Hotelissimo Hotel in Gonesse. [2]

and you know what, the titanium strip just about 43 cm. yup, satu titanium strip sepanjang 43 cm yang terjatuh/tertanggal dari sebuah kapal terbang yang baru saja mendarat 4 minit sebelum itu, meletupkan sebuah Concorde sekaligus membunuh seramai 113 orang on the spot in just 120 seconds.

Concorde

wait, do you what Concorde actually is? dia bukan calang-calang aircraft. a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, a supersonic transport! Concorde had the greatest supersonic range of any aircraft by a combination of careful development of the engines to make them highly efficient at supersonic speeds (actually the world's most energy-efficient jet engine), by using a slender fuselage, and very careful design of the wing shape to give a good lift to drag ratio, by having a modest payload and high fuel capacity, and by moving the fuel to trim the aircraft without introducing any additional drag. woW~ great isnt it?

while commercial jets take eight hours to fly from New York to Paris, the average supersonic flight time on the transatlantic routes was just under 3.5 hours. Concorde had a maximum cruise altitude of 18,300 metres (60,039 ft) and an average cruise speed of Mach 2.02, about 1155 knots(2140 km/h or 1334 mph), more than twice the speed of conventional aircraft![3] ok, itu dah tersangat2 laju.

the design? ohh mind-blowing~! Concorde is an ovigal delta-winged aircraft with four Olympus engines based on those originally developed for the Avro Vulcan strategic bomber. Concorde was the first airliner to have fly-by-wire flight-control system; the avionics of Concorde were unique because it was the first commercial aircraft to employ hybrid circuits.[3] wahh~ cukup smart & canggih! memang tertarik, menarik abes lah! dah macam ada rupa roket kertas yang kita pernah buat main dulu2 tu kan tapi ni real punya. owh if you ask me, just one word suits to describe it; superb!

It's waiting us

kenapa semangat sangat saya ceritakan berjela-jela semua ni kepada kamu?

mati. die. death; apapun, siapapun, macam mana pun, tiada yang dapat halang. no matter what, where, when, how...when it's the time, we will taste it; taste the death. every each of us are going to face it one day. it's waiting us.

[Luqman, 31:34] "Dan tidak ada seorang pun seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui (dengan pasti) akan apa yang akan dikerjakannya esok. Dan tidak ada seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui di bumi mana dia akan mati. Sungguh, Allah Maha Mengetahui, Maha Mengenal."

secanggih, sehebat, se'superb', se'mind-blowing' sampai tahap universe macam mana pun ciptaan manusia tu, totally cant defeat and never triumph over His Will-Power. Ya 'Aziz, Ya Jabbar. Segala-galanya dibawah kekuasaan dan kawalanNya bagi semua yang di langit, di bumi dan antara keduanya. Walau sebesar mana pun sesuatu itu di mata kita, bila Allah mahu hancurkannya, sekelip mata sahaja semuanya boleh hancur berkecai, berderai.

[Yasin, 36:82] "Sesungguhnya urusanNya apabila Dia menghendaki sesuatu Dia hanya berkata kepadanya, "Jadilah!" Maka jadilah sesuatu itu."

Lihat. hanya dalam satu saat, semua hilang. kosong. tiada lagi. zero. null. lalu manusia, apa lagi yang mahu kau banggakan?

melihat hebatnya diri sehingga lupa akan hebatnya kerajaan Allah

mengukur unggulnya diri sehingga lupa akan unggulnya kekuasaan Tuhan

mendabik dada meninggi diri sehingga lupa akan kebesaran dan ketinggian sang Pencipta dirinya

melupakan kekerdilan diri yang tiada apa-apa, hanya pada taraf seorang hamba..

manusia, malulah. kamu itu, Allah yang cipta. dan yang pasti; dari Dia kamu datang, kepada Dia kamu akan kembali. pasti, kerna itu janjiNya. kematian itu pasti akan datang kepadamu.

[Ali-'Imran, 3:185] "Setiap yang bernyawa akan merasakan mati. Dan hanya pada hari kiamat sajalah diberikan dengan sempurna balasanmu. Barang siapa dijauhkan dari neraka dan dimasukkan ke dalam syurga, sungguh, dia memperoleh kemenangan. Kehidupan dunia hanyalah kesenangan yang memperdaya."

Kematian saya

ya, kematian saya nanti; suatu ketika pastikan tiba. dan kamu juga.

dulu kan;

saya pernah mengalami kemalangan. saya ingat saya akan mati, hanya patah kaki cuma. alhamdulillah, Allah bagi saya peluang untuk bernafas lagi.

saya pernah disuspected satu penyakit kronik oleh doktor. saya ingat saya akan mati, sembuh akhirnya. alhamdulillah, Allah masih bagi saya hirup oksigen percuma ini.

saya pernah lemas di sungai. saya ingat saya akan mati, tapi Allah selamatkan saya. alhamdulillah, Allah bagi saya lagi peluang untuk hidup.

saya banyak kali pernah terlibat dalam kes dan situasi yang hampir2 meragut nyawa, tapi alhamdulillah,syukur sangat Allah benar-benar masih dan tetap mahu berikan saya peluang yang entah untuk ke berapa kalinya kepada saya. yang sepatutnya untuk gunakan sisa-sisa kehidupan yang tinggal ini dengan menjadi sebenar-benar hambaNya dengan keseluruhan hidup hanya demi menggapai redhaNya. tapi saya ini yang tak pernah nak sedar2. tak serik2. tak sedar dek untung. peluang demi peluang, saya sia-siakan. mahu sampai bila peluang itu akan berterusan? sampai waktu, akan tiada lagi. walau menangis tanpa henti di alam barzakh nanti, tiada yang dapat mendengari, tiada siapa mampu menolong lagi, merugikan diri sendiri.

ahh..degil, keras kepala, ego, dominate, conquer; itulah nafsu insani. merajai hati, memusnahkan peribadi. kuatlah diri, kuatlah hati ! sudah-sudahlah, dunia ini sementara cuma. mujahadah itu memang, benar-benar pahit. kerna syurga itu manisnya; teramat sangat. usahalah perbaiki diri, tanpa henti. Dia memerhati, lagi mengetahui.

sangat, mendambakan husnul khatimah. mohonlah, rayulah, rintihlah, mintalah, haraplah; kepadaNya. biar dengan ini, kamu, dia, mereka, kita dan semua sekali; kita bertemu di sana. JannahNya. amin.

dengan kematian demi kematian, saban ketika dan waktu, biar menjadi ikhtibar dan persediaan untukku dan untukmu. nah, sehinggakan ke saat ini kuterasakan, sungguh, kematian itu benar-benar mengejar dan mengajar diri.

doakan saya. :)
