Under the Bombs
I knew that the bombs would either land on top of us or very close by. There didn’t seem to be any way to escape injury or death. The sound of the rushing wind was so loud and the whistling sound was reaching a crescendo when the bombs started hitting the ground and exploding right next to where we were crouched.
One of the 1000 kg bombs crashed right through a huge tree next to us and exploded in a large flame that shot up through the branches. As the ground shook, I closed my eyes for just a second. The noise of the explosion was deafening. As I opened my eyes, I saw a huge cloud of flying debris and smoke and the whole tree was shaking. I closed my eyes, half turned away and braced myself for the impact of the shrapnel and flying debris.
Suddenly chunks of dirt and debris started hitting me and falling all over those of us in the hole closest to the bomb blast. It felt as if the sky was just raining debris. For several moments I remained tense as it seemed that someone was shovelling spade fills of dirt to cover us. We seemed to be getting buried with debris.
The ground was still shaking. The ear-splitting noise of the explosions was still reverberating in my ears. My brain seemed numb. Everything seemed to go deathly quiet.
