A fire. All smoke but Bangalore Cares!

The mishap at the Carlton Towers on Tuesday claimed lives, injured many and this blog mourns over everything that went wrong.

But this one small incidence also taught me personally that people do care. There was goodwill, there was bravery and there were prayers.

Some of those stuck in the building bravely kept tweeting about the incidence while assuaging their loved ones. The entire blogosphere turned its attention to the Carlton Towers, hoping for the safety for those stuck. A few even started circulating helpline numbers, whereas others gave directions to commuters to take different routes.

And as the news channels repeatedly started showing the clippings of the victims jumping off from the building once again, they turned to the twitters and other tools for broadcasting their disgust. Many even drew points against the fire safety measures, including the fire department- which even this blog agrees needs way better training and technology.

But in all this and much more, lets stay united.
