Tambora On Fire
Friday, October 05, 2007
I was on my way back to office from Salemba when I saw black thick smoke from a far distance. Got off the bus, I grabbed an ojek and told the driver to take me to the location. We got there at around 4 pm.
Everyone was in panic. Some men were trying to stop the fire with anything they found, while women cried out loud "Allaahu Akbaar!". All these made me shiver. Some of me wanted to continue taking pictures but some of me didn't.
After being there for about nearly two hours, I decided to leave. At the office I told my editor that more than 20 houses were burnt (by that time) and no casualties so far. She replied "it's too little — we couldn't publish the story."
Well, I'm okay with that. If it takes more burnt houses just to get my story published, I'd rather not have it published anyway…
PS. Bat, how's your day?

Maaf Wung kemaren lagi nggak bisa. Maaf ya.
Terlalu kecil? Indonesia terlalu banyak musibah ya..
menanggapi comment lo di blog ray: YEEEE BUKAN, MAKSUDNYA BLOG GUEEEEEEEEE........!!!!!!!!
gr amat sich.
Iya Bram. Salah satu nilai berita memang "magnitude". Tapi musibah tetap musibah.
Saya nggak sampai hati untuk berharap kebakaran tambah besar, hanya supaya berita saya turun. Hehe.
Sigit: Hahaha. Gua emang gampang ge-er tau.
She replied "it's too little" -- we couldn't publish the story.
haduhaduh..ngeri juga yak bacanya!
PS. Bat, how's your day?
jjjiiiieeee...so sweeeeeetttttt! ;)))
Kalau saja yang terbakar itu 1 saja rumah salah satu pejabat pemerintahan, menteri misalnya, dengan sebab yang sama, pasti tidak akan ada yang berkomentar "it's too little". Ha..h,rupanya nyawa manusia itu dihargai hanya dengan sekedar status.
Nad, kok ngeri? Jangan dong.
Reporter memang cuma melaporkan. Perkara berita dimuat/tidak, itu tugas redaktur.
Siapa tahu redakturku baca.. Halo Mbak! Ehehe :P
Dian, yaa.. namanya juga ada keterbatasan halaman. Makanya aku seneng punya blog. Bisa memberitakan yang tak dimuat.
Kaya' si Arif Bisnis. Ya nggak Rif?
turut berduka atas musibah kebakaran ini..:(
Wow... the smoke looks devastating! Ngeri bgt. "It's too little"? Mungkin krn kejadiannya di pemukiman kumuh kali ya...
Btw, Jakarta Post? Cool! :D
Wah Kram, kemarin gw lewat juga pas kebakaran itu. Kok ga ketemu ya? Hehe..
jadi inget aku langganan Google Alerts keyword daerahku, dulu pas awal-awal belom ada minyak pasti dapetnya kalo pas ada musibah aja, banjir, angin topan etc.
PS: Kram .. how's your day ?
suit suitt hehehe
bat,,kram how's your day?? missing each other nieh..hohohoho....
wew...kebakaran pas lagi puasa pula..wew...dan 20 itu kedikitan untuk berita??? geblek...awak tak ngertilah dunia perberitaan ini..apalah awak nih..
Mas Andi, terimakasih..
Adisti, bukan karena kejadian di tempat kumuh.. Tapi karena halaman yang terbatas, maka editor harus memilih mana yang dimuat mana yang tidak :)
Bisri dan Anonymous: Sialan loe :P
Muthe, tapi keesokan harinya The Jakarta Post menulis cerita tentang kebakaran ini kok.
Lho, Adisti bukannya di JP juga ya?
Begitulah Kram, bad news is good news, kata orang. Tapi foto dari Antara muncul di HL JP tuh waktu itu.
Jangankan ini cuma di Jakarta, aku jalan ke Talaud aja bikin proposal tulisan eh gak diapruf. Padahal udah jalan.
Protes dong kram...kakaka

Sigit: Mas mas, emang situ pikir sini pusat informasi orang hilang?
Iya Mas Ari, kasihan betul. Apalagi kejadiannya menjelang berbuka. Kasihan.
