I heard a loud blast last night that woke me up, it turns out to be an explosion in a propane facility resulting in a 1.6-kilometre radius evacuation, highway closures and event cancelations throughout the city. My heart goes out to the people who were injured in the blast around the area, its been reported that a firefighter was rushed to the hospital without vital signs. I can only imagine the hard work and dedication it took to put out a fire of that magnitude and I am thankful to the brave firefighters who put their lives at risk to protect this city.
There are dozens of youtube videos and pictures popping up everywhere today, this one is probably the most shocking that I’ve seen:
Its shocking and scary-an explosion that disrupted a peaceful night in Toronto leaving behind a mental shock for several. I hope everyone recovers soon inshaAllah.I wonder if its ok to react with such a shock to something so small compared to the wars that are taking place in this world. Perhaps we are all sanitized into choosing the small wounds since its easier. It would definitely be helpful to think outside this boxed mentality inshaallah. (Yawn!) Just my two cents. I so feel like I am talking/writing but no one is listening hard enough. Oh whatever!
