"I was a 5yo kid, staying with my dad at our country house some 65 km away from the explosion on the night it happened. It was so hard to believe that something so terribly bad could have really happened next to us. Then I remember orange dusty clouds flying fast and very low in the afternoon, and I felt very sick..." - This is part of our guide's personal memories.
