London's blast

Everything is okay over here in Leeds on the day the blast happened and after. Quite peaceful out here although a couple of days back when I was watching Madagascar in a theater I thought terrorists just strike the cinema. an annoucement was made saying "attention everyone, a situation has arisen. please make your way out to the exit!"

Hundreds of people thronged to the parking lot. some confused some panicked. Parents calming down their ten year olds daughters who can't help crying. From the parkade we all saw huge black smoke rising into the air from the roofs of the cinema building but could not determine what was burning. it smells like burnt rubber or its byproducts (plastics etc.)

Later, it was safe to go back in and found out that it was the premise's garbage compactors that got burned. We all given each a complimentary tickets when movie-goers exited the building again at the end of the movie. False alarm.

But yeah, it was frightenning and panicky to be in that situation and environment especially having in mind the recent blast in London caused by the cowardly terrorists on Friday last week. The next day Saturday the 9th, a suicide bomber ticked off in a double decker bus and killed several people. God, what in the world is going on with these lunatical dimwitted fanatics. Killing innocent people does not and will not ever solve whatever issues or the cause they are fighting for.

I have, however, been trying to contact my cousins in London but were unable to because cellular companies operating in that region has completely shut off communication services... either that or it's been ever so busy to get through their line. I have no idea where Khyewuen, Khyeying, Khyejiat, and Kokyee is. They are daily commuters of the tube. My prayers are with them.
