R=reporter M=man R. What was the first thing you remember? M. Oh, my goodness. It was about 5 o’clock in the morning. I remember, I woke up when I was thrown out of the bed. When I tried to walk, the floor shook so that I fell. I felt terrified and rushed downstairs. R. What did you see outside? M. Oh, I saw things I never want to see again. It seemed as if the end of the world came. People were crying, shouting and running everywhere. Bricks were falling down from some buildings while big ones were shaking...... Lots of people were getting buried under bricks. There were great fires around us. It was terrible. R. Did you realize what was happening? M. No. I asked a man standing next to me what happened. Before he could answer, some bricks fell on him and he was killed. R. That sounds frightening. Did you know where to find a safer place? M. Oh, no. Luckily I met a man who knew the way to a boat. R. So.... you got away easily M. No, we didn’t. It was difficult because the streets had deep cracks. As we were carefully picking our way, some frightened cows rushed up Market Street and dropped into one of them. I’ll never forget the noise they made. Some ofthem had broken their legs and others were climbing upon each other to get out. Horrible. R. How did you feel once you’d left the city? M. Umm. I felt safer because we were being cared for. The soldiers saved us. They brought us water and food. Thanks to them many of us are still alive.
