It's a Scary World
Vikram came back from India today, late, which is most unlike our resident child genius. It turns out the story as to why he was late is dramatic, and terrifying.
He was waiting to board the aeroplane, in a room with 600 people. By pure chance a drug dog was wandering around, and started barking loudly at a small parcel. The police then evacuated the building and called in the bomb squad.
It actually was a bomb, and when they were dismantling it they discoverd it was set to go off that night. Vikram and those other 600 people would have been killed or injured. I just can't understand why anyone could deliberately kill civilians, knowing it is only civilians who will be killed, knowing they will kill innocent parties, women and children. I just can't understand.
So the plane was delayed 4 days, and no-one was hurt. All I can say is thank God for that drug dog.
