Smoke Gets In Your Eyes @ Carrefour

Quite a dramatic day. I was just walking around while my manager was buying some groceries at Carrefour Wangsa Maju when there was a commotion outside the supermarket area. Apparently there was a fire at one end of the building which started either from a car that burst into flames in the basement OR something caught fire in the Nagoya textile shop beside the supermarket. We were unclear with the facts, but what was clear was that thick smoke started to cover the building from one end to the other. By the time we were leaving, all of the shops outside the supermarket area were closed. Good thing I had my camera with me to take these shots.

When we first saw the smoke.

Three minutes later. By this time, everything was closed except for the cashier counters.
