Chapter 849 – Olympic Games bombing
Many people remembered this year’s Olympic Games is not because it is the Centennial games, or many world records are broken. It is because of a tragedy that happened!
The US claimed that they had invested over 220 million USD for this year’s games, and over 10,000 police officers were deployed. But there was still an incident which left 2 people dead and over 100 people injured.
The irony of this tragedy was the bomb had been discovered, and the no officers, who were at the scene, knew how to defuse the bomb and the bomb exploded. It was a pipe bomb and the nails and shards in the pipe caused massive damage.
The bomb had been discovered, and the staff and officers at the Olympic Park could not evacuate the people there on time. By right, 5 minutes is more than enough to evacuate the people and there should be 0 casualties.
To appease the public, the Police had a blunder. They arrested the park’s staff, who called the police, as the bombing suspect, and released him one month later.
The real suspect is arrested after 7 to 8 years because of another crime. Feng Yu and many people felt that the suspect who was arrested might be a scapegoat.
How can Feng Yu let Li Na go to such a dangerous place? He could not remember the exact time and date of the bombing, but he knows it is during the games. That’s why he will not allow Li Na to visit that area.
Li Na looked at the nervous Feng Yu and asked. “Why can’t I go? If I did not visit the Olympic Park when I am here, it would be a waste.”
“There are too many people and it is not safe. Everybody will have the same thinking as you and all the tourists will be there. We can go when the Olympic Games end. You can stay there for as long as you want.” Feng Yu made up an excuse.
“But after the games ended, I have to return to school.” Li Na was disappointed. She did not think that Feng Yu was lying to her. To her, Feng Yu will never lie.
“Listen to me. I will bring you to other places of interest, and I promise you it will be fun. There is nothing at the park, except for some statues. You are interested in those?” Feng Yu starts to fool her. “Remember when we visit the Great Wall of China for the first time? Before climbing it, we are very excited, but after a while, it got boring.”
“That’s true. Let’s talk about this another time. I heard you can pick up gold in the parks here!” Li Na said excitedly.
“Those are all exaggerated claims by the media to attract tourists. Even if you can find gold, how much can it worth? I can buy gold for you and melt them into nuggets and scatter it on the ground for you to pick.” Feng Yu joked.
The gold found in the gold mines at tourist attractions had too many impurities, and it is only a form of promoting. It is just like China’s Great Wall’s slogan. You are not a hero if you have not been to the Great Wall. But are you really a hero after you been to the Great Wall? There is nothing interesting there. You might as well go to the ancient cities.
Li Na rolled her eyes. “What’s the point of picking up the gold nuggets you threw in front of me?! Furthermore, I will not pick them!”
“That’s right. We will not pick up the gold others threw. We got to make them give us the gold willingly!”
Feng Yu successfully made Li Na forget about visiting the Olympic Park, and they returned to the bedroom.
……
“What did you say? Fine. I know… Yes, go ahead. I don’t care how much I got to spend. All I want is the result!”
Li Na saw Feng Yu not looking well and asked. “What’s wrong? Did something happen at your company? Do you need to go back? We have been out for quite long.”
“It is not my company’s matters. There is an incident at the Olympic Park… luckily we did not visit there.” Feng Yu told Li Na about the incident.
“You are right. It is dangerous in crowded places. What is that bomber thinking? What can he gain by doing such things!” Li Na was impressed with Feng Yu’s ‘great foresight.’
To be honest, Feng Yu also don’t know what that bomber is thinking. Maybe he is only trying to disgrace the US government. If this is his goal, he had succeeded.
Also, this bomber had helped Feng Yu indirectly. He had embarrassed the organizing committee, and Feng Yu can make use of this incident to criticize them openly.
…….
Outsourcing the Olympic Games to contractors is not right!
The US had snatched the hosting of the 100th?Olympic Games from Athens but failed to make it a success!
The US government must give an explanation of the bombing incident during the games!
If the US government cannot even provide security, how can they host the Olympic Games?
……
All sorts of negative news appeared on the headlines of the papers all over the world. During the Olympic Games period, people’s focus is on the games, let alone this tragedy.
The European countries, especially Russia and Greece, reported this incident the most.
Whenever there is an opportunity to attack the US reputation, Russia will be the first to start. Of course, the US is also the first to attack Russia when they have the chance.
Greece had lost the bid to host this year’s Olympic Games to the US and were unhappy. The first Olympic Games are held in Greece and this year is the 100th?game. Yet, they lost to the US.
You all want to host the games, but you had messed it up!
Many other nations remained neutral and did not laugh at the US. They only express their condolences.
Feng Yu also felt the organizing committee is a joke. How can security allow such an incident to happen? They had 5 minutes to disperse the crowd and there are still so many casualties. The person-in-charge should step forward and take full responsibility for this!
What’s the use of mourning? You all should arrest the culprit! No matter what you do after the incident, you can never bring back the lives of those two deceases.
At this time, a news article blew up this incident.
Feng Yu had arranged his men to write a letter to the Atlanta Government, reminding them to increase the security during the Olympic Games. But they ignored this letter and resulted in this bombing.
Now, the contents of the letter are exposed, and the Atlanta Government, the US Olympics Committee, the US government, etc. becomes the target of the public’s anger!
Someone had reminded you all to increase the security, and you all choose to ignore it? You all are asking for trouble!
But what happened next was the same as Feng Yu’s previous life. That staff who called the police was arrested as the bombing suspect. The US government wants to use him as a scapegoat to appease the public.
Wilson, who was tasked to blow up this matter, got the media to report that the arrested staff is not the culprit. No suspect would be so stupid to call the cops themselves unless he had gone mad. If he is the suspect, he keeps quiet for the bomb to create the maximum damage. If he regretted at the last minute, he could stop the bomb from going off and there will be no casualties. Moreover, he did not have any motive.
This year’s Olympic Games being handed over to private operators to host was discussed by the public again. The US had not given enough respect to the Olympic Games and why should they get the right to host the games?
Is there anything behind the curtains the public is unaware of?
