I thought it was a bomb.”Chua said he was “literally lifted off the ground” and thrown sideways several meters from the blast, lightly grazing both his arms.The sound of breaking glass, falling debris and metal and sirens broke the earlier silence, he said, leaving him in a momentary state of confusion and panic.“And then the flames came up. It was all over, the entire front of the mall was razed. I thought I was going to die,” he said.When the scene calmed slightly, Chua said he carried Tan, who had sprained her leg, to safety and noticed passers-by and nearby residents rushing to the scene.His car, a black Volkswagen Golf GTI, was severely damaged.source:<a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/explosion-rips-through-empire-gallery-four-hurt/" target="_blank">http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/explosion-rips-through-empire-gallery-four-hurt/</a></blockquote>
