Part 3/6:
The Vulnerability of the Elderly
Further entwined within John's reflections is the haunting sight of elderly seniors being pushed on board in wheelchairs. This image evokes feelings of vulnerability and helplessness. The juxtaposition of the hijackers' cold execution of their plans against the background of those who require care and protection raises questions about responsibility and the sanctity of life.
Witnessing elderly individuals, with the weight of lifetimes on their shoulders, being escorted onto a plane only to be unjustly deprived of their existence highlights the tragic consequences of terrorism. These moments capture not only individual lives but entire narratives: stories rich with experience, knowledge, and love, exposed to the malignant actions of others.
