Have you ever escaped a situation by chance
In 1999 I was in the city of Toba Tek Singh
My grandad came to pick me up from my aunts house. We travelled all the way to my grand dads house which was four hours away. When we arrived the next day we got a phone call that there had been a giant gas pipeline explosion.
The flame 馃敟 was so high you could see it in neighbouring cities.
There had been a gas leak and and a member of staff had evacuated everyone and decided to light a match
Anyway the whole city lost its mind.
From the accounts of my family and friends there everyone just ran to get out of town.
People were bustled onto buses and trains and were taken out of the city.
My aunt had two young kids that got lost in the stampede of people.
They were found three days later
There weren鈥檛 that many deaths
But it was traumatic.
Just find it always weird that it was on the day I left
This is a video of a Chinese fireworks factory explosion
It鈥檚 probably not the same as this one is huge but I imagine it to be similar
