I just returned home. I haven’t gone clubbing since last year and yesterday I went clubbing with some friends in Grand Baie. When i woke up at 9am, I heard about the explosion which had happened in Grand Baie at 01:45 . The building where the explosion happened is Grand Baie Store ( a two-storey building housing restaurants, bars and shops) .

My friends and I were in front of a night club at 01:30 and went inside minutes later. We didn’t hear the explosion because of the loud music.

According to the local news,two people died and 15 were injured. Those two persons who died are Jean-Francois Lew and Emmy Ng. They are 25 & 24 years old respectively and were engaged. So young… !
The buildings found near Grand Baie Store were also damaged.
There are a lot of rumours going around about the explosion. Some people are even saying that it was a bomb which caused the explosion. It seems quite unlikely. We’ve never had terrorists attacks in Mauritius.
Other people suspect that the blast has been caused by the explosion of gas cylinders. In fact, the government are hoping that it is something like that and not a deliberate explosion.
We will know the outcome of the investigation in a few days.
