One in which, as Rav Brazil alluded here that we must learn from. We simply can’t ignore this incident! Frankly, all the technology we have in this advanced world could not have prevented these tragic set of events.

In one week I have seen that humanity has been using the old conventional means as well as the new methods that we have via technology for GOOD and not for EVIL.

Below, in the first clip you will see how people used the good old fashioned human chain to preserve the life of the elderly as well as young children.

In the second clip you will view how people found their lost sibling through a Twitter stream!
