About 3/4s of the way down, it says:
"This was the worst day in our history," said Sri Lankan Y.P. Wickramsinghe, picking through the rubble of his sea-front dive shop in the port city of Galle, strewn with the wreckage of buses and toppled buildings.
"I wish I had died. There is no point in living."
Wickramsinghe is Maheen's last name. I wonder if it is one of his relatives and if Galle was Maheen's destination. Galle got hit hard. Boy, I hope the kid is okay.
