NASA astronaut Frank Culbertson was aboard the International Space Station on Sept. 11, 2001; he took this photo of New York City, and many others, on the day of the attacks. Today, we remember the heroes, the survivors, and the lives lost on 9/11: https://t.co/xRoVXwgo4g
ہمارے بڑوں کے بچپن میں جب محرم کا چاند نظر آجاتا تھا تو ٹی وی پر ہر قسم کا میوزک بند ہوجاتا تھا۔خبریں بھی بغیر کسی سُر کے ہوتی تھیں۔کوئی ان دنوں گانے بجانے کا تصور بھی نہیں کرسکتا تھا۔جتنی بھی بڑی خوشی ہو غم حسین سے بڑھ کر کچھ نہیں ہوتا تھا۔یعنی احترام محرم برقرار رکھا جاتا تھا۔اب ہم باشعور ہوگئے ہیں۔پڑھ لکھ گئے ہیں۔ہر بات پر دلیل مانگتے ہیں سوال اٹھاتے ہیں کہ بتایا جائے کس کتاب میں لکھا ہے کہ محرم میں خوشی نہیں منا سکتے؟۔دین میں سوگ صرف تین دن کا ہے ہم کس بات کا سوگ منائیں؟۔ہم دلیل مانگتے ہوئے یہ بھول جاتے ہیں کہ احترام بھی کسی شے کا نام ہے۔ادب بھی کچھ ہوتا ہے۔کاش ہم خود ساختہ باشعور نہ ہوتے تو احترام کو مقدم رکھتے۔
Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:
When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.
The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.
A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.
The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.
When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.
The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

@chedetofficial It's important to acknowledge the multifaceted nature of history and recognize the contributions of European culture, such as the Renaissance and Enlightenment, as well as their contributions to science, philosophy, and technology.
@chedetofficial While it is true that European history has been marked by a significant number of wars, it would be unfair to make sweeping generalizations about an entire civilization based solely on this fact.
@chedetofficial In terms of your question about how Europeans conquered the world, it's worth noting that European colonization was a complex process that involved economic, political, and military strategies. While wars certainly played a role in this, they were not the only factor.
@chedetofficial European countries have made significant contributions to science, philosophy, and technology, which have had a profound impact on the world.
@chedetofficial While it's true that Europe has a long and complex history of warfare, it's important to also acknowledge the many achievements and contributions of European civilization.
I gave a talk at Habib University a few days ago. This one clip has touched a nerve with a lot of people. Let know what you think. (Hopefully for a little bit you can come out of your partisan posture and judge the argument on its merits).

WHO raised its highest alarm🚨 then, by declaring the #COVID19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of Intl. Concern.
