I have never been so scared in all my life.
I was in Afflecks and had just been to the retro shop on the top floor, I then went to the fancy dress shop and a security guard rushed past me whilst I was speaking to the shop keeper, I asked him what was going on and he showed me to the window where I could see tons of smoke billowing down Oldham Street.
I then thought, time to get out of here just in case, so, went down the main stairwell which was now being blocked off by security because they stated that the fire service had cordoned off that exit, so, they pointed me to another fire exit and I managed to get out.
My thoughts go out to the fireman who died due to this terrible event.
