I almost died!

Postby Dec » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:03 am

Wow! This is a bit of a random thread..but hey!

So I was filling the moped up in a petrol station which is right next to the street where I live. Anyways, as I was driving out and turning into my street I heard a massive explosion..I mean massive! It sent a shockwave :shock:

It seemed like two cars had collided and somehow exploded instintaniously. Huge fireball rose up and a set of pumps in the gasoline station were burning pretty much out of control (the ones I had just 20 seconds earlier been using!)


Anyways..i quickly got the flesh' outta there and I just heard they put the fire out and a few people were killed in 2 cars.


Just thought I was really really lucky I wasn't there when it went up!

Freakin crazy.

Kinda off topic, but last night on the way home from skiing I saw a house completely engulfed with flames. There were at least 25 fire trucks there. Unfortuantely, I was driving, so I had to pay (some) attention to the road, but I looked up the hill just in time to see the roof collapse.

Kinda strange, it was a very new (and big and beautiful) house, just was built maybe this summer. Well, hope they have insurance!

Well they say things come in threes, so you should be alright for a while.

Hope the bone mends quick.
