The news about the crash of a Libyan civilian aircraft, with 110 passengers, on the tarmac of the Tripoli airport was saddening. But what was remarkable was that there is a lone survivor in a 10 year old Dutch boy who is recouping in a hospital. Wonder what that little boy must have gone through, moments before the crash? I mean, did the others have any premonition about their impending ends or were there any visible behavioural changes in them, which were experienced by the young one?
I'm asking these questions against the backdrop of a book named, 'Life after Life' that I'd been told about, long ago. This book has been written by a couple of doctors, based on the experiences narrated to them by scores of patients who'd gone through near fatal medical conditions and were fortunate to return to normal lives, subsequently. Each individual reiterates having seen something 'taking flight' from their bodies(the soul, perhaps?!) and traversing through a longish tunnel, at the end of which was a very bright- but not blinding- light. And the most interesting part of the narrations is that all of them, during this period of 'suspended animation' had seen their loved ones who'd died earlier, urging them to return to where they had come from, because they were still left with many more years of life!
