He observed that flight was canceled, What happened he asked one of the airlines official, but none answer him. So he decided to go back home and relaxed.
He Switched on the television's set and all he could watched is a pathetic event of a plane crashed. He watched the whole event until suddenly he notice the same aircraft's his brother told him about, is the same one that crashed into the Mediterranean's sea.
His brother is among those that got crashed into the Mediterranean sea. He screams and wept, but no one to consoles him, O God why James said and looked toward the sky.

One faithful Evening! Help Help Help, is that a sound of a young lady, James said to himself, Someone help me, the voice came again. The voice kept coming form an uncompleted building,
At once James ran toward the building to help the young lady screaming for help. Immediately he ran into the building, some Young guys ran away in attempt to rape her.
