Bali bombings remembered

The 2002 Bali Bombings, in Kuta shook the world and left people with a ‘I was doing ‘X’ when I heard the news’ memory.

When I heard the news I was in Eugene Oregon, just a couple of months away from moving to Bali. Having talked to many Balinese locals about their experiences, I know the event brought great shock and sadness. Ika was actually only 20 meters from the Sari Club when it blew up, sitting in a taxi on Poppies II, shielded by Aloha Surf Shop.

Australain Federal Police Commissioner, Mick Keelty was on Poppies II also, and an article in The Australian, talks about his and other people’s experiences that night.
