There have been explosions in downtown Oslo. Today Friday afternoon, explosions went off outside Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's office most likely from a car bomb. Nothing is really certain about what's going on. Of course there's a lot of speculation.
Thankfully I was not in the area as I was at school which is maybe 3 - 4 miles away. I didn't hear anything and can't see any of the smoke. I'm glad that I had decided not to go back downtown this afternoon like I had planned. I was in fact in the same area all morning up until about an hour and a half before the explosion.
I have many friends who were in the area and felt the explosion. There was a lot of glass shattering for a large radius around the explosion and smoke and ash in the air. People were running everywhere. One friend described that the elevator in the building she was in just dropped. I am thankful she wasn't there. Another friend described that they felt a woosh of air and heard a loud noise like thunder. Many other people simply just heard the loud noise and were told to turn around.
Like I said, there are no concrete reports of what has happened. We have to keep speculation to a minimum because that can just make things worse. Please know that I am in a safe place and I will give another update when I know more information.
