Ghanaian recounts scene of blast: Chagrined after missing the train by a whisker, Maxwell Konadu on Thursday thought he would get late to college little realizing that he had averted a major disaster. The twenty-three-year-old Ghanaian had a close brush with death Thursday after a train which he was supposed to board at Kings Cross in London exploded barely five minutes after it left the platform. A commerce student, who arrived in London late last year, Konadu said: ?I heard a huge blast five minutes after the train let the platform and chaos reigned supreme at the station. An announcement proclaimed that all train services were being suspended in wake of the blast,? he added. Konadu told the Arab Times in a telephonic interview from London that ?I never ever thought that something like this would happen in this country. I owe my life to Almighty. There was panic all over the place.?
