Last week we had seen or heard of aerial attacks in colombo which were retaliated by tracer bullets. I had the oppurtunity to view them and even take a couple of snaps. However, whats very astonishing is that, we, the people living in Colombo were more in danger with respect to the tracer bullets returning down on firing than the bombs dropped by the LTTE. Isnt that so weird?
Let me explain the same in detail.
The red lines you see are the tracer bullets. Each tracer has around 5 to 6 bullets. The red colour is due to the outer chemical in each bullet combusting on friction.
Now, whatever goes up has to come down, so does these bullets that do not contact with the target. It is then that the Colombo public are in grave danger. It was seen that 4 people had been severly injured and had later succumbed to injuries, purely because of these tracers.
So the next time you see this, dont stay out like me to take pictures. Remain indoors at the bottom most floor, use underground carparks or if out, remain out under shelter looking for any suspective material falling from the sky for quick recovery.
Eitherways, this pic seemed to be the best fireworks seen in reality, but it is indeed the beauty of the face of death.
Beauty.......does kill!
K!
