UPDATE:The September 18 earthquake fear goes on. It was 2.00PM when
the fake quake hit Samtengang MSS. All students came out of their classrooms
and created havoc in the school. There was no actual earthquake, but a fake
one. Students rushed out at once, screaming and making all sorts of sounds. We did
not feel the slightest tremor other than the vibration and sound caused by rumbling
of the chairs and tables. When things subsided, we came to learn that students
were playing their part to a rumor. The rumor was that there would be another
earthquake at 2.00PM.
We gathered all students and informed them about the
unreality of the rumors. We also re-stated the preventive measures and acts
that we should be doing if there happens to be another quake. My message was
simple: Please stop creating rumors; it
is not a wise deed at all. Spread messages and awareness instead.
