Nanyang Tech

I'm sure most of you would have heard by now. If not,

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_344879.html

"A NANYANG Technological University professor was stabbed by his final-year project student, who later fell off a bridge linking two buildings on the Boon Lay campus on Monday morning."

If not for Marcus' suggestion to go to the H&SS library today, i would have passed by that place on the way back from canteen B at the exact time the incident happened.

It is such a tragedy, for the student and the professor. I wonder what will drive a person to such lunacy. (or desperation?) Is anything ever that important that will drive a person to even venture near the line of life and death?

And as a comms student, I guess today I learnt the value of not broadcasting everything you know. Information has the power to hurt or to heal. Think.

Someone today made a decision that he would have no chance to regret. He could have been next to you on the bus or been eating right across from you in the canteen. Where could you have been in his life?
