Hello DJ, my partner belongs to this lunch club of 20 expats called CRAFT, standing for Cannot Remember A Frigging Thing, and this is what one member wrote about his experience in Bali over the weekend: craft.com.hk REPORT FROM A MEMBER IN BALI The following is an email from our Member, Richard Warburton, who was there. Guys, You may have heard that I was right in the middle of the Bali bomb. I left the Sari club 5 minutes and was sitting in Paddy's bar right opposite when it happened. I was bending down to pick up some change behind the bar when it happened. I was 10 metres away from the bomb which destroyed windows and roofs a mile away. I am the luckiest man alive. If I had been drinking a large Bintang instead of a vodka Red Bull in the Sari it would have taken me longer to finish and would have been dead. The guy I was drinking with in the Sari bar I found dead later. I got out of Paddy's just before it fell down and trapped everyone inside. My legs caught the shrapnel but basically it was only surface stuff. When I found out I was OK I went back to help. It was horrific, bodies and limbs everywhere, people on fire everyone with third degree burns - 4 people died in my arms on the side of the road as we were trying to load them into the back of trucks. As there were no lights it was impossible to tell who was nearly dead or badly injured. Well, you've seen the pictures so I don't need to describe any more. I stayed around for another couple of hours and got back home around 2 absolutely covered in blood - mainly other peoples. Had a few stitches in my leg but otherwise OK. I'm assuming my rental car was completely destroyed as it was parked by the side of Paddy's - I haven't been back there yet. Someone up there was looking out for me on Saturday as I don't think anyone who was as close as I was to an absolutely enormous explosion got away without serious injuries, I can still smell the TNT and my ears are still buzzing. Best, Richard
