ailbheThere was an interview on the Today Show this morning with a Briton who'd been rescued from one of the besieged hotels. This one, oddly, moved me.
I heard the same guy yesterday, saying that he was in his room with the bed up against the door, barricaded in. Today he described how he got out, and then he said he'd eaten in the restaurant the night it started, and then he stopped, and apologised, and tried to go on, and couldn't, and he said "the waitress -" several times. Then "she was one of the first to be shot."
Then he cried.
There was more to the interview. He was going home. He had meetings in Delhi, but he was going home to see his children. And his wife.
"Thanks," said the interviewer, in the studio in England, beginning to end the interview.
"No, thank you, Jim," said the businessman. "It's so good - so good to hear a familiar voice."
