If you're trying to figure out which company to go with... TM Unifi is HIGHLY recommended by me :)
Right.. First things first.... WHAT THE (&^^&$%$^&(**&@@#%^&!!!!!!?????? Explosion in the building next to mine?! Not only did it blast itself out of proportion, but the impact was sooooo great, my door blasted open and sent us scurrying like ferrets trying to get to the nearest exit. It was Mother's Day when this happened, so I had my parents over for dinner. Suddenly we heard a massive BOOM and my door came flying open, breaking the lock in the process. Without thinking, we ditched everything (including the yummy nachos we were having for starters) and just ran out the door and started down the stairwell.
"Are you mad?!" is what I'd like to say to the people who taught us not to bring anything with us during an emergency. That was what I stuck to, and that was such a bad idea. Like anyone with common sense in the case of an explosion, we took the stairs. (Yes, we ran 17 floors down the stairs, I happen to be on the same level as the unit "En Flambe" in the building next to us.) Anyway, bad bad idea to ditch your shoes. We all ran barefoot except for my head-locked-on-shoulders dad.. and little did we know, the whole stairwell was covered in glass, floor after floor after floor. It felt like we were running for a long time. At one point, when it felt like we had reached the bottom, I looked up and saw the number "8" on the wall... and was like OMG... 8 more floors to go. We're gonna die. In my head, all I could think about was GET OUT GET OUT!!! IT SHOULDN'T TAKE THIS LONG TO GET OUT!!! and also what the bejeeeeebus could've caused this havoc??!! What could cause a 33 story building to have all the windows in the stairwell shattered?! I was filled with fear, desperation, tears, and in between all those things, ANGER, because of how the property value would decrease. Adding on to that fruitful experience, when we reached the ground floor, it was pitch BLACK, so instinctively I took a left after the exit point. Thank GOD we ended up in the loading bay.. FRESH AIR FINALLY.. I looked out at the whole scenario, and all I could see was glass. EVERYWHERE. and people screaming and running for their life. I remembered to trod carefully over the glass... and to step on it, and not to swish my foot against any of the edges. So we ran past the guardhouse and onto the road, looked up, and finally I understood what had happened, Standing tall above up was the fiercest and the biggest fire I've ever seen in my life. It wasn't just burning, it looked like what I would imagine the fires of hell would be, it was reaching out from its side trying to burn every single thing that it could touch.
Despite all the glass in my foot, I had tears down my cheeks just praying no one was in there and that no one was hurt. Without wasting another second just in case it were to collapse, we jumped into a cab and summoned it straight to my auntie's house as none of us had our keys with us. Here's the newspaper article to answer any of the questions you have in your head. My apartment is just next to that tree.

Below are pictures of the aftermath I took early this morning.
