Serious Injury in Europe - amended

Cindy and I visited John in France. We were doctors in the UK. John had a serious injury two years ago. It happened in 2008, when a bomb exploded in a shopping mall in France. When John was passing by the mall, a sweater which was on fire flew at John. John’s hand was hurt by it. Many parts of his body were burnt and he could not use his right hand for about five years. There were 369 deaths and 798 injuries.

When this explosion happened, there were 1,400 people inside the hotel and mall. The hotel was built on top of the mall. So the mall exploded and the hotel collapsed together. The police thought it happened because of negligence. The explosion happened at 1:12 p.m. on 14^th Match. John was very lucky in the explosion. Other people broke their bones.

John worked very hard in physiotherapy, he needed to learn how to use his left hand because his right hand was hurt. When he knew how to use his left hand, he needed to check his right hand too. Now, his right hand had changed its colour. His burn was very serious, but he recovered very quickly. We went to his house to help him treat his hand.

When I talked to him, he told me a scary case. His father died twenty-nine years ago. His father heard the song “Gloomy Sunday”. He said, “When I was small, I heard the first half of ‘Gloomy Sunday’ and it was the scariest song in the world. Now I had this phonograph record in my mother’s house! But I locked it in a box, and I threw the key into the river.”

I was very scared, this song has “killed” more than 100 people, and it was a mystery. Then, Cindy and I left France and visited a girl called Candy. She was hurt in the explosion, and her boyfriend died. It was devastating to her, and she said it was an unlucky day for her. After we healed her, we went back to the UK. But I was very curious about John’s father. How did he died?
