... I watched as they broke the windows of the tower with their guns. The explosions over our heads were completely deafening, and an air-wave threw us to the side-When I came round, I saw a lot of wounded people. I helped carry a dead person. (I don't know the person's name.) In the street behind the television tower territory there were also a lot of wounded people, but the tanks that were blocking the streets wouldn't let the ambulances pass... So we put the wounded in private cars and took them through the back roads...
I saw doctors with a Red Cross flag ask the soldiers to let them through to the television tower, but they weren't allowed.
