Speaker 2: Obviously here for seven News following up what happened yesterday,
Speaker 2: and suddenly an announcement came over to speaker saying that

Speaker 1: at Northland shopping center, which just seemed to be cursed.
Speaker 1: At the moment Caroline joined, you were at Northland before, Caroline.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was, and it was absolutely terrifying. I was
Speaker 3: near the ANZ bank and I just finished my banking
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, there was like three explosions,
Speaker 3: smoke everywhere, and what really shocked me was that everyone
Speaker 3: just stood there going about their own business and then shock.
Speaker 1: So you're seeing an explosion happened? Something blew up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, something blew up. Like there was so much smoke
Speaker 3: that was in secondsly that whole area near Myers and
Speaker 3: the banks. You nearly couldn't see from the smoke.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it wasn't a false alarm, then.
Speaker 3: Was it? I definitely not know and I couldn't. One
Speaker 3: woman said okay, everyone to the nearest exit. And as
Speaker 3: soon as I saw the smoke getting worse, and then
Speaker 3: I heard more. I don't know whether our gunshots or explosions.
Speaker 1: I just ran.
Speaker 3: I bolted, and I've run through that center. Not once
Speaker 3: did I hear any announcement over the PA and I
Speaker 3: was yelling out for everyone, get out, there's a fire,
Speaker 3: there's something going on. And at the same time I
Speaker 3: was so scared. I thought, what if I'm running into

Speaker 3: absolutely terrified.
Speaker 1: Now I can hear it in your voice, Carol, I
Speaker 1: looks down the line, because we've spoken off here with
