Crash


Crash .
We had a strange encounter on the dutch Wadden Sea island Terschelling, that very same – long – moment of the crash of the Malaysian MH17 plane with 300 people 15.20 dutch time (CEST) July 17, 2014.

Encounter ~
We were unaware of the MH17 crashing at that very moment far away in Ukraine , while my wife and I – cycling on the dutch island Terschelling – had that strange accidental encounter at the crossing of winding bicycle paths in the middle of the woods of West-Terschelling , where we came across family – our (grand)children – also touring there by bike.

Crash ~
The MH17 Malaysia Airlines’ Boeing 777-200 plane crashed after being hit by a Russian-made Buk missile over Ukraine, near the Ukrainian- Russian border. All 298 occupants (including ~ 200 dutch) were killed.

Feathers on our path ~
Next , an hour later – the first picture I made were these feathers on our path at Terschelling.

NOTE – additional explanation:
The confluence concerns 2 matters:
1) a completely unexpected meeting in the middle of the forest with family .. which in retrospect turns out to have taken place at the time of the crash (image of that meeting here in slow motion as a ‘strip’); and
2) the first photo I took shortly thereafter – of bird feathers on the ground – could in retrospect symbolize a crash …

Out Of Service | 20140911

Out Of Service | 20140911 | 1-memo•com | In the morning of 9/11 2001 logistics forced me to officially announce a temporarily – 1 week – ‘out of service’ of our Leiden islet isolation and transplant center. Our center was started earlier that summer of 2001 at the Leiden University Medical Center. So, I decided to have a short vacation abroad – heaven, after being on call 24/7 almost non stop for years. Later that day at home, I was downstairs watching TV — because upstairs near my workroom the central heating was being replaced – when I saw the CNN breaking news about the plane crashing into the World Trade Center. That day would become a landmark in history and the course of my life.

Background image : Microscopy picture I took of purified human Islets of Langerhans – tiny clumps (size around 1/10 mm or 1/25 inch) of 10s to 1000s of cells that produce hormones like insulin – these cells are just visible when you enlarge this 50x microscopy picture : as tiny translucent ‘balls’ or ‘spheres’. The red color is from a stain that binds to the insulin cells.
