“There was a lot of fear, a lot of crying, a lot of screaming,” she said.
“One of my girlfriends, she had her little baby with her, she made the call to bunker under a steel table because she was so scared. We had people in cold rooms, we had to put kids in cold rooms. I’ve got goosebumps, it was pretty hard. It was insane, very, very chaotic and very scary.”
