Do You Ever Ask "WHY"?
The sound was deafening. Although no one was near enough to hear it,
ultimately it echoed around the world. None of the passengers in the DC-4 ever
knew what happened-they died instantly. That was February 15, 1947, when
the Avianca Airline flight bound for Quito, Ecuador, crashed into the 14,000-
foot-high peak of El Tablazo not far from Bogota, then dropped-a flaming
mass of metal-into a ravine far below.
One of the victims was a young New Yorker named Glenn Chambers, who had
planned to begin a ministry with the "Voice of the Andes."
Before leaving the Miami airport earlier that day, Chambers had written a note
to his mother on a piece of paper he picked up in the terminal. The paper was a
piece of an advertisement with the single word WHY? sprawled across the
center. In a hurry and preoccupied, he scribbled his note around that word,
folded it, and stuffed it into an envelope addressed to his mother.
The note arrived after the news of his death. When his mother received it,
there, staring up at her, was that haunting question: WHY?
Of all questions, this is the most searching, the most tormenting. It
accompanies every tragedy. It falls from the lips of the mother who delivers a
stillborn . . . the wife who learns of her husband's tragic death . . . the child
who is told, "Daddy won't be coming home any more" . . . the struggling father
of five who loses his job . . . the close friend of one who commits suicide.
Why? Why ...
