　　He is fit, single and a millionaire. Yet few in the world have known the tragedy (悲剧) that has left an indelible (擦不掉的) mark on Steven Flannigan's young life.

　　Ten years ago, Steven was at a neighbor's house just three doors away from his home when PamAm Flight 103 fell out of the sky and destroyed his home and his family in Scottish border town of Lockerbie. The fourteen-year-old boy could only watch helplessly as his home disappeared in the fire with his father, mother and sister still inside. There were two hundred and seventy victims (受难者) including eleven people from Lockerbie, among whom were Steven's parents and ten-year-old sister.

　　Steven was awarded 2.1 million pounds for his pain and suffering, but instead of being a help, the money has been more of a curse (诅咒) as he has tried to make sense of his life. “He is trying to sort himself out (解决自己的问题)”, a friend said, “but everything has gone wrong with his life since he was fourteen. He's a millionaire, but he hates the money.

　　It was money that killed Steven's elder brother David who was awarded one-million-pound compensation (赔偿金) for his pain and suffering.

　　Japan escaped the world's most powerful earthquake in two and half years on Friday with only 400 injuries, most of them minor．
