British Broadcasting Chinese

Today at 5pm, a bus drove onto the pavement in Mong Kok and subsequently killed one person and injuring many others. The woman who sustained fatal injuries was 28. As you will see from the photos taken off a TV, the whole roof was sliced off, rather reminscent of 7/7. Mong Kok is the most densely frequented area in Hong Kong and Nathan Road, where it crashed, is the main road. I had missed it by about half an hour, just about the same amount of time i missed the July 7th bombings between Kings Cross and Russell Square. Even more eerily, it was heading to Sheung Shui, which was where i went after (but by metro). I checked the BBC news URL and it wasn't there. I guess they haven't woken up yet...
