Trapped grandparents die in north Edmonton apartment fire: "They were best friends"

More than 60 years ago, Major Singh Bhandal and Surinderjit Kaur Bhandal exchanged vows to spend their life together — a promise they kept to their very devastating end.

“What happened Monday night was a complete tragedy,” said grandson Lali Toor on Wednesday, outside the fire-ravaged north Edmonton apartment building where the Bhandals lived and also died.

The elderly couple were residents of the building at the corner of 132 Avenue and 82 Street in the Killarney neighbourhood, where a car lost control and crashed into the building.

A gas mainline was hit during the collision, causing an explosion and fire that sent thick plumes of smoke into the sky.
