Glorietta 2 blast - 9 deaths, 100+ injured!!!
A letter by Carlo Cruz - Glorietta Blast Victim
Glorietta 2 Blast - News Articles

This is not related to blogging but this is something I could not neglect. I request that we all pray for the souls of the victims, and their families for the tragedy that struck them. Nobody deserves to die that way. -_-

It happened October 19, 2007 at around 1:30pm when a huge blast rocked Glorietta 2. The blast was first reported as an explosion from the LPG at Luk Yen Restaurant but further investigations seem to link it to a terrorist attack. Sirens were wailing like hell yesterday at Ayala Ave going to the scene of the disaster.

I would like to commend GMANews.TV for their prompt news update. I was trying to check the websites of Manilabulletin, Inquirer, ABS CBN news and GMANews for any updates and it was GMANews who provided the quickest update of the four sites I checked. I am not saying that the other websites are slow, I just say that in this event, GMANews was faster to react. ^_^

dito ko lang nalaman na may terrorist bombing pala na nangyari kahapon dyan sa manila. I am a loyal kapamilya pero saludo ako sa when it comes sa ganitong mga balita o insidente walang paloyal-loyal. Saludo ako sa bilis ng GMA. Salamat sa pagshare ng balita.

i feel for the victims of the blast, and their families. watching the news earlier, i found out that most of those who died and were injured were breadwinners. my heart sank.

let us pray for the victims and their families. let us pray for justice.
