Our family caught in grenade attack

[Sim11UK]

My wifes (Ladybug_sim) Mother & Father were caught in a grenade attack, on sunday morning, whilst attending church, in Kalilangan, Bukidnon Province, on Mindanao. :angry:

2 grenades were thrown at the church & it seems one didn't explode? & the other just reached the entrance? 2 or 3 people were injured & as you can imagine, there was panic, people fainting etc.

Just so glad, there were no fatalities & especially glad my Mother & Father in-law are safe & that both grenades didn't quite reach their intended targets...Well, that dosen't bear thinking about. :NoNo::NoNo:

Was that you Rani, the 2nd story? :omg: That is terrible, how do you get over something like that?
Well I hope you are getting your life back, to how it used to be. Sorry!

:omg: ... a bomb scare at an early-morning church service! What next? Thankfully your in-laws were unscathed - apart from shock - and there appears to have been few casualties otherwise. But of course YOU would've got a hell of a fright yourself when you heard about it, Simon. :cwm24:

[Arthur Little]

:doh ... I've just read about YOUR experience too, Rani. I did notice your mention of "carnapping" in the chatbox earlier :rolleyes: ... but it's only when I clicked onto your link containing press coverage of the incident that I realised the full extent of what happened. I'm so sorry to learn you'd gone through such a "nightmare" ... how awful! Hopefully you're at least managing to come to terms with this ordeal, and can, eventually, put it firmly behind you. Take care & God Bless. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[sars_notd_virus]

[malditako]

good news ur inlaws safe...

[Sim11UK]

:NoNo: ..... no differernt really than this country with the kids going around stabbing each other, we only here of the ones that die.

How many kids in the UK carry grenades? :Erm: If they'd been thrown properly through the entrance & both exploded, it would have caused mayhem.

[KeithD]

:Erm: I said knives!!! The point was that kids don't care much for life in either country regardless of the means used. :doh

i am having a hard time to cope up with everything but such is a part of my life and i just have to move on.... hard but slowly i will fully recover...

the story of that incident didnt stop there.. noticed the car's plate number (wfj 968)... after months of waiting for the police report and insurance claims, me and my son were browsing the net for a second hand car, he googled our car's plate number, and guess what we discovered... :ReadIt:

Trader or non-trader, glad you're safe even though the story takes another twist. :yikes:

[Sim11UK]

Thanks again everyone, have heard some disturbing rumours :NoNo:

The Philippines sometimes, is just too complicated & crazy? :crazy: though I still love the place & will be going back again in a few weeks.

[Steve.r]

Makes you wonder how some people think and what they get out of it. :angry:

I am so happy your wife's family are safe and not injured Sim, also Rani, how terrible !!
