It was nearly 10PM when I reached my apartment building and I pressed the buzzer for the security to open the door. At the same moment, I heard a huge noise and I could see bright light on the wall of the opposite building. The first thing that came to my mind was it could be a burst from some electric transformer. The burglar alarms, cars and pets started screaming due to the heavy vibration that it created. But the security was telling me that it was a bomb blast. That sent a wave of fear inside me and I looked up the building to see what is happening in my apartment and I could see the light glowing in one of our bedrooms.
I went in and spoke to few friends on the phone and slept. The next day I came to know that the blast happened near the apartment where we are staying. There is a Blockbuster in the same street and somebody planted a bomb in the parking lot. But it was not a very powerful one and so did not injure anybody.
I was just walking past that place say 30 seconds ago and I was returning from work. On that day, to my surprise that place was deserted. Usually it will have cars parked all around and people going in and out of Blockbuster.
Somebody told me that it was all just to remind people that there are groups that are unhappy about the Government. Strange isn't it. Face of terrorism!!
