The tale of two.....

..accidents:
One plunged from the sky due to engine failure while the other collided with another, maybe due to human error.. both fatally killed more than 100 people combined..

..candidates:
One trying to break the "iron" ceiling with the support of a ex-PM while the other was seen as a clear winner.. both eying the hot seat vacated by 2 leaders in less than 24 months..

..companies:
One filed for bankruptcy while the other was bought-over.. both iconic symbols of Wall Streets..

..detainees:
One blogger-extraordinaire while the other an opposition law-maker.. both patriotic Malaysians..

..hurricanes/typhoon:
One has ripped through many states in US while the other is threatening many countries in East Asia.. both equally devastating..

..politicians:
One who was supposed to have a shot at being the President while the other who was asked to be the running-mate of a Presidential candidate.. both role-models for all women..

..retired statesmen:
One renowned for his role in guiding a third world country into a first while the other still unable to let go of his "legacy".. both viewed as dictators by some and savior by others..
