Vivek Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Okay so, I've been browsing the coldplaying forums since 2003 but i never made an account till 2007, so I thought it would be nice to share this story with you all, and this happened TODAY. So, just today I decided i would start getting into the AROBTTH songs, like amsterdam and warning sign (I'm starting to LOVE them not, i used to hate them) I would listen to warning sign non-stop today, even while we were playing a pick up game of basketball (I live in the provincial housing (ghetto) of Toronto). After I decided i should take a break from Warning sign, I put my ipod beside me and just sat on a nearby bench. I hear 3 gunshots. At first, i thought it would be firecrackers (Canada Day is nearing) but I look to my left, i see a guy shooting 10 other people, just throwing his gun and shooting. I counted like 12 shots before i freaking realized, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE. I start running, but as I'm running I just feel a connection. Warning Sign. I don't know if its just coincidence or a connection, but its pretty crazy. Warning Sign is my top song now =D EDIT : nlgb1 found this http://www.cfrb.com/news/565/735393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunForTheHills Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Oh my God. What a story. :stunned: Where the hell was this!? Thats absolutely crazy. EDIT: Oh, a ghetto in Toronto, wow. I hope no one got seriously hurt, but somehow I doubt that :sad: That is the freakiest thing I've read all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I cannot think of anything to say to comfort you, but I'm glad you're okay and you'll be in my thoughts tonight. Take care x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 That's so scary! oh my gosh, it was a warning sign. What a nightmare. Seeing a man shoot people. That's traumatizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivek Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Also, as I ran back to get my bag like a minute after the shots, I see 2 guys on the floor, and one guy limping as if his leg was shot. Im probably the only person in my area that would even listen to a second of Coldplay, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathey42 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You don't need to convince me of it's power, it's my fave song of all time and was partly responsible for me getting back with my little missus 9 months after I broke up with her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 ...Yikes. Reminds me of the time "Low" got stuck in my head for a couple hours--which was odd, because I never get songs stuck in my head--and then I went here and it was the first one to pop up. But that doesn't really compare to this...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivek Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 toronto? i live in toronto....you wouldnt happen to live in scarbourough would you?? cause thats pretty ghetto and i live there too Nah, I live in Regent Park, an area in downtown toronto. You know whats the funny thing after i turned warning sign on winamp after the shooting, when the song was finished,the shuffle went straight to everything's not lost. and my winamp playlist has 700+ songs. :shocked2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
