又见恐怖主义袭击
家父911后的一个预言不幸言中。他解决方法的别出心裁,他老人家驾鹤西去八年之后的今天,仍然尤在耳边绕梁未散。
昨天,开年不吉, 2025年元旦凌晨,美国新奥尔良市发生了伊斯兰极端主义者驾车冲进欢庆新年的人群,造成十五人死亡数十人受伤的恶性事件。
同一天还发生了拉斯维加斯的卡车爆炸事件。
这让我想起家父当年在911尘埃尚未落定的时候和我的一次交谈。
那时我们都在这个美丽的第二故乡生活了五年以上。我们都认为, 911太可怕了, 太邪魔了!尽管从道义上讲,这种不择手段的疯狂出击,应该人人口诛笔伐,但是,不得不承认,这个精心设计并且实施的手段实在是人类争战史的神来之笔,把第二次世界大战中大日本帝国的神风特攻队远远抛在了几条街之外。看似不择手段的疯狂,实际是十分讲究手段的冷冰冰的魔鬼高招。
当时很快世界各地都纷纷大大加强了机场的安全检查。航空出行从那以后就变成我们今天大家都熟习,并且习以为常的方式,不仅因此增加的运行成本,还有时间成本,到今天早就成为不接受也得接受的麻木现实。
本地的国际机场,去年终于完成大动筋骨的改革换代。原机场上世纪70年的设计理念,宽体大飞机Jumbo plane, 停靠在枝形展开的廊桥,下飞机极短的距离就到达停车场。落后于时代的主要原因是911后安检的重大不同。
回到24年前那场对话的后半段。老爸摇头叹息,(那样改进安检)没用的没用的。事倍功半,浪费资源。恐怖组织只要能找出几个不要命的疯子,办法有得是, 比如开车去撞麦当劳,你没个防。
老爸倒提出一个有些脑洞大开的建议,机场安检不用加强,只要把飞机上驾驶仓的门焊死了就好。另外给飞行员从外面加开个上下飞机的门。他们有自己吃喝的来源和厕所。这样就阻挡切断了恐怖分子把飞机变成炸弹的可能性。顶多就是全机的人同归于尽, 因为混上飞机的坏蛋炸掉飞机。
从媒体报导,警方破案,到社会群体思考如何防止化解这种悲剧,通常有这些角度和特征。
罪犯嫌疑人
动机
手段
防止的方法
要自杀的,往往想扬名于世。动机是毫不隐瞒的目的。事发之后,过程手段也都展现于众。
唯独最后这条如何防止,四分之一个世纪过去,至今没有完美的答案。怎不令人仰天长叹!

Another terrorist attack
Unfortunately, one of my father's predictions after 9/11 came true. His unique solution is still ringing in my ears eight years after his death.
Yesterday, the beginning of the year was not auspicious. In the early morning of New Year's Day 2025, an Islamic extremist drove a car into a crowd celebrating the New Year in New Orleans, killing 15 people and injuring dozens of people.
On the same day, a truck explosion occurred in Las Vegas.
This reminds me of a conversation my father had with me when the dust of 9/11 had not yet settled.
At that time, we had lived in this beautiful second home for more than five years. We all thought that 9/11 was too terrible and too evil! Although from a moral point of view, this crazy attack that did not hesitate to use any means should be condemned by everyone, but we have to admit that this carefully designed and implemented method is really a stroke of genius in the history of human warfare, leaving the Kamikaze Special Attack Force of the Empire of Japan in World War II far behind. It seems like a madness that uses any means, but it is actually a cold and devilish trick that is very particular about the means.
Soon, airport security checks were greatly strengthened all over the world. Since then, air travel has become a way that we are all familiar with and accustomed to today. Not only has the operating cost increased, but the time cost has also increased. Today, it has become a numb reality that we have to accept even if we don't want to.
Our local international airport finally completed a major renovation and upgrade last year. The original airport's design concept was from the 1970s. Jumbo planes parked on the spread-out terminals, and the parking lot was a very short walking distance after getting off the plane. The main reason for this kind of airports is no longer practical the times is the significant difference in security checkin process adopted after 9/11 attack.
Back to the second half of the conversation 24 years ago. Dad shook his head and sighed, (improving security checks like that) is useless. It's a waste of resources. As long as the terrorist organization can find a few crazy people who don't care about their lives, and the life of innocent people, there are many ways, such as driving a car to into a McDonald's, and you have no defense.
My dad made a rather creative suggestion. Airport security does not need to be strengthened. Just weld the cockpit door on the plane. In addition, open a door for pilots to get on and off the plane from the outside. They have their own food and drink sources and toilets. This will block the possibility of terrorists turning the plane into a bomb. At most, all the people on the plane will die together because the bad guys who sneaked on the plane blew up the plane.
From media reports, police investigation, to sociaty generl thinking about how to prevent and resolve such tragedies, there are usually these angles and characteristics.
Suspects of criminals
Motives
Means
Methods of prevention
People who want to commit suicide often want to become famous in the world. Motives are the purpose that is not concealed. After the incident, the process and means are also revealed to the public.
Only the last one, how to prevent it, has not been answered perfectly even after a quarter of a century. How can we not sigh!
