Bombing at Manhattan

2016-09-18 | 日記
The explosion occurred in the Chelsea, NYC Saturday night, which we were unaware of

since we were attending a Sunday service online of Tokyo Antioch Church, which is Sat. night in NY time.

While attending the service, a friend from Tokyo contacted me, asking if I was Okay, then I got to know about that.



The following day, on Sunday afternoon we headed to Manhattan.

Lincoln tunnel was strangely empty and it looked so weired.



It looked the same as usual in Manhattan though more police cars and police officers were there.


A Korean friend Ms. S came to attend our church service, and shared the story that happened to her last night.

She was supposed to visit a store around 8 o’clock last night in the vicinity of where the explosion occurred,

but on second thought she didn’t go and returned home instead.

Later she learned she might have been involved in the chaotic scene of the terror attack but that she got protected.


After the service, we prayed with Ms. S that all the churches and members, police, security personnel would be protected.
