Bandung as Sea of Fire

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946.
Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.

British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945.
Bandung was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke
billowing high into the air everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The
greatest battle happened in the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there
were a large ammunition depot belonging to British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia

was not comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the

Indonesia earthquake topples houses in Java; death toll rises to 162

At least 162 people were killed and hundreds more injured as a 5.6 intensity earthquake
shook Indonesia's main island of Java on Monday, reports said.

The quake struck Cianjur town in west Java, at a depth of 10 km, according to US Geological
Survey data.

The area where the quake struck is densely-populated and prone to landslides, with the
makeshift houses reduced to rubble in many areas, the BBC reported.
 Rescuers were working into the night to try to save others thought to still be trapped under
collapsed buildings.

Regional Governor Ridwan Kamil said 162 people were killed, over 700 injured and more
than 13,000 people displaced by the disaster, the BBC reported.

He apprehended that the numbers of injuries and fatalities were likely to increase because
there were "a lot of people" still trapped at the scene.

Earthquakes are common in Indonesia, which sits on the "ring of fire" area of tectonic
activity in the Pacific, with a 2018 quake in Sulawesi leaving over 2,000 dead.

"Heal the World"

Think about—am—the generations and they say we wanna make it a better place for our
children, and our children's children, so that they they they know it's a better world for them,
and think they can make it a better place

There's a place in your heart

And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

And if you really try

You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there

If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world

Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why

There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving

If we try we shall see

In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always

Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world

Heal the world

Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in

Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace

Then why do we keep strangling life

Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
 We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers

Create a world with no fear

Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there

If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world

Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
