Austin Dawkins was faced with reckless conduct today after he accidentally set fire to his wife by turning on his lighter near his truck's gas while he was in the process of refueling. The gas station surveillance camera shows the burning flame shooting out from the nozzle and burning his Dawkin's wife right after Dawkins ignited it with his cigarette lighter. Read the article here.
Dawkins's wife's surprise must have been unimaginable but Dawkins's must have been as bad. I confidently believe that it never crossed his mind when he woke up today that he would end up setting his wife on fire in a gas station. There was an another incident that also took place today where a man
opened fired in an airport, killing one TSA officer and injuring many
more. I also believe that no one at that airport thought an incident could ever happen at such place. I have always thought that airports were a safe place and same with gas stations. This made me reconsider the dangers that are hiding in our world. With everything in society being so highly-developed now days, our lives were made much easier, but those developments has also caused society to be a more dangerous place than it was before. Back when there were no airports or gas stations, life must have been very inconvenient but I think it was much more safer than it is now. I think inventions that we use daily, inventions that we think is so safe, have the potentials to be fatally dangerous. For example, cars are with a doubt, one of the greatest inventions that has made our lives so much more convenient but I can't imagine the number of deaths they have caused.
Do you think the developments in society has also made it more dangerous than before?
