such a sad day

i heard the news about the supposedly lpg-related explosion at glorietta mid-afternoon and then realized the extent of the damage to people and property in the primetime news. 8 dead and more than 90 wounded with possibly more trapped in some of the debris caused by the explosion. looking at the damage caused by the explosion, it seems impossible to have been caused by lpg, unless the storage room (of luk yuen) had a gigantic lpg which is doubtful. so i'm left to assume that the explosion was caused by explosives. if it was caused by explosives, how can the people responsible live with themselves. people are dead and a great multitude is injured. there is no justice in taking a life and those who are responsible will surely burn in hell.

its scary because glorietta is a mall i frequent and we were just there last weekend. i'm just glad last weekend was a normal and safe day since i was with my mom, sister and my nephew. i realized when you have kids, you become a bit paranoid - safety is paramount. there's probably no malling for the time being right now.

keep safe.
