Misfortunes seldom come alone
Malang sering kali datang bertimpa-timpa
Sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga
It is said that misfortunes seldom come alone. Less than two days after the country was shattered by the explosion of its nuclear plant, one of its active volcanoes finally erupted and killed 20,000 people.
Kata orang, sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga. Tidak sampai dua hari selepas negara itu diranapkan oleh letupan loji nuklearnya, salah sebuah gunung berapinya yang aktif meletus dan meragut 20,000 nyawa.
