My daughter was killed in a gas blast at home… six months later we are still sleeping on the floor – council don’t care
THE MUM of a four-year-old girl killed when her house exploded says the family are still homeless and sleeping on a floor.
Sahara Salman died when a blast sparked by a gas leak flattened the family home in Thornton Heath, South London, last year.

The August 8 horror forced 500 residents to evacuate but six-months on, the council still hasn’t found a “suitable property” for the victims of the Galpin’s Road horror.
In a statement, the mum of “shining star” Sahara, Sana Ahmad, said her daughter’s death was “a nightmare come true”.
She added: “My daughter lost her life in the very bed where she should have felt safe and secure.”
The single mum slammed Merton Council, saying that despite all they have been through, “we are still homeless and sleeping on the floor”.
The 28-year-old added: “It feels like we’ve been left to fend for ourselves.
“It’s unfair that we are being treated this way and left without proper support.”
In the week leading up to the explosion, residents had complained of smelling gas.
Southern Gas Networks – who later paid £500,000 to rehome displaced residents – were dispatched to deal with the leak on their pipes but never resolved the problem.
A week later, the house exploded, killing tiny Sahara who was only a month away from her fifth birthday.
She was discovered found amongst the rubble of the home.
Her mum said Sahara was in the box room when the blast happened, two other children were with Ms Ahmad in her bedroom and the eldest child was in a room near the garden.
But ever since the fateful day, Sana said the waiting process “feels like torture” and her family have been “left to suffer” as a result.
She told how her three kids and her had “lost everything” and they are still scared to go back to school, MyLondon reported.
But above all, they “miss their sister”.
Council leader, Councillor Ross Garrod, told MyLondon: “Since that tragic day, six months ago, the council has been doing everything it can to support those affected.
“Including Ms Ahmad and her family.”

SKINWALKER Stalks Navajo Teens Sleeping in Old Tent
A Navajo teen is at the family property in New Mexico. He and his cousin are sleeping at night in an old tent when an unknown figure is staring at them. The cousin recognizes it as a Skinwalker.
I recently received the following account:
“This happened to me when I was 14 years old. I haven’t told anyone about this because we aren’t supposed to talk about Skinwalkers in my culture. If you talk about this they gain an attraction towards you and will focus on you according to our beliefs.
I am a Navajo man from Arizona and I was raised on the Rez. I somewhat know what they are and know about them. We take them very seriously. If one is seen and the Navajo Police will come out to investigate the area. Anyway, I saw one.
My family and I live in Arizona and we occasionally visit family near Farmington, New Mexico. We left early to get there by noon. It is a very long and boring trip there. We get there before noon and we have time to socialize and talk with our extended family. The younger kids and teens start to play and explore around until dusk. The house is too small for everyone to hang out and sleep in. Some of the kids have to sleep in the trailer and truck camper. My cousins and I stayed in the old slightly torn tent.
It’s nighttime, around 9 pm, and all of us get ready for bed. It had been a long day and we were tired. We are asleep at this point and for some unknown reason, I wake up. Of course, I’m still tired and rubbing my eyes while yawning, meaning I wasn’t aware of my surroundings. Once I finish rubbing my eyes, I look at the entrance of the tent and see a figure illuminated by the backlight porch, standing in front of the tent. At first, I was scared but thought it was my other cousins just messing with us. As I was thinking this, I thought why would they go through this much trouble of staying up late, to have the off chance of us waking up and seeing them.
As this person was still standing outside our tent, looking at us, I turn to one of my older cousins, to wake him up and tell him that someone was standing outside our tent. He tries to brush me off but I persist and he turns to me and asks what I wanted. I tell him to look at the entrance of the tent and he does. I have never seen someone go from the brink of sleep to sheer panic that fast before or since. He looks at me with a shocked face and tells me to be quiet. He whispers to me that it’s a Skinwalker and that we need to be quiet.
We lay there for the longest time and from my memory, it was at least an hour or more. We were just about to go back to sleep because it hadn’t done anything. Then it started to walk around the tent, at a pace insanely slow that it kept us up. Remember when I said this was an old tent? It had some holes in it. One of the holes was the size of a quarter and I decided to be ‘brave.’ As it continues to walk around the tent a fourth time, I slowly crawl towards the hole and try to take a look. As I did this my cousin told me to get back to bed or it’ll hurt us. I ignore this warning. I am at the quarter-size hole and looking out to see whatever it was. It comes around to the hole and what I saw was bone-chilling!
I was looking at its lower half and not its face. What I saw were darkened dirt-covered legs and some kind of makeshift animal pelt. I bolt back and hide under my sleeping bag while my cousin did the same. This thing decided to stop moving and start looking at us again as if it knew that I saw it and was letting me know. It continues to stand still again at the entrance and watch us. I hid under the covers, so scared that I believe that I was in shock! I finally fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.
I woke up early, maybe around 5 am, and I decided to look outside the tent to see if there was anything there. I see footprints. Bare footprints, that send shivers throughout my body. I saw the footprints move around the tent, this hit me hard because I was now realizing it wasn’t a dream. As I further investigate the footprints, I notice that it went off toward the rocky hills nearby where we were staying at. I follow the track to the hills, about 100 yards away from the house.
As I continue to follow the tracks, something strange and frightening happens. It goes from two footprints walking for a while, to footprints and handprints in the dirt. found that kind of strange because no person would do that out here. As I followed the tracks further in the hills, the prints started to get smaller and smaller. This is when I started to get scared again. It slowly changed into coyote paw prints. That is when I stopped and turned back home, first walking fast then onto a sprint.
When I got to the house, I sat down on the back porch for a while and thought about telling my family. But I didn’t think they would believe me. In the end, I didn’t tell anyone, even the cousin I woke up in the middle of the night. It seemed outlandish and sounded like what a kid would tell to get attention.
That’s my story. My people take witchcraft very seriously and do our best to not talk about them. Even though I broke this code, I refrain from saying anything out loud. I have had a few other incidents, but this is by far the scariest.” HM

Hilton will design suites and sleeping quarters for Voyager’s private Starlab space station
Voyager and Lockheed Martin have found a partner to design astronaut facilities for their space station. Hilton will develop suites and sleeping quarters for Starlab, CNBC reports. Under the partnership, Hilton and Voyager will also look at marketing opportunities related to Starlab and trips to what may be one of the first space hotels.
NASA has granted contracts to four private companies who are building private space stations ahead of the agency’s planned decommissioning of the International Space Station at the end of the decade. Axiom Space, Blue Origin and Northrop Grumman are also working on space stations. Voyager’s operating company Nanoracks received the largest contract, which was valued at $160 million.
Voyager and Lockheed Martin hope to have the first Starlab up and running by 2027. I wonder how many Hilton Honors points it will cost for a trip there.
