De Bijlmer Opera

1992.10.04 - 2017.10.04
__________________________

Twenty-five years ago, on this very date,
El Al flight 1862 crashed into Earth
fifteen minutes after taking off
... and the Bijlmer burnt


The Bijlmerramp


a smoldering wound
leaving a deep scar
across the suburban
tissue of Amsterdam

an impact in history
of which the echoes
resound at the climax
of De Bijlmer Opera
by Jacques Bank


Today, I'd rather share this musical piece with you,
much rather than a repetition of documentaries,
news items and such, for it communicates more
than just the actual disaster.

I would and I do.


--with better audio, without video--


C'est toujours la vie qui a raison,
l'architecte qui a tort

in memory of all
