Yes, I had an accident, while riding >>a bicycle, and my left hand is in plaster, I broke my elbow, damn it. It's >>good that it was my LEFT hand that was hurt, otherwise I would not be able >>to draw... I was riding my bicycle, heading to the Gallery of Contemporary >>Arts, in the center of the town, where there was an oppening of the >>exhibition of works by 20 young and alternative artists from the town, who >>were showing their >>works created during the NATO attacks , and one of my strips was on display >>as well. As most of the strikes are being egzecuted during the late >>evening, the >>openning was held at 1 PM... >>Anyway, I was riding past the cars parked on the road,and the soldier who >>was in the car has openned the door without looking back first, and I >>crashed into it, and was "launched" about two meters ahead, and it was a >>wonder that my bike was in one part after all, just with forks slightly >>deformed. The guy said that he is sorry, and I said "OK", and - after >>seeing that I was in one piece, I just wanted to get out of the place, to >>hide from the embarassment, because everybody was looking at my >>"pirouette" and the bicycle laying on the ground, right in the center of >>the town... >>Just a couple of hours before this, NATO has bombed the very center of the >>city of Nis, in the Southern Serbia, and at least 15 people were killed and >>about 60 were injured...A friend from Prokuplje (small town near Nis) has >>phoned and told >>me about one woman from his town who was in the final stage of pregnancy, >>and she went to a maternity hospital in Nis...She was killed while passing >>through the market near the place which was bombed. The scenes from Nis >>looked apocalyptic... Dead people on the pavements, smoke, burning cars, >>ruined shops and civilian houses. The hospital was badly demaged, as the >>mortuary and pathology ward were hit... The cluster bombs were found all >>over the center of the city, and they are designed similar to soft drink >>cans... >>Today, while speaking to my parents, they told me a strange thing - during >>the first NATO bombing of the power lines, when they used some special >>weapon, never used before, to produce a black out on the major territory of >>Serbia, my mother was in front of my parents' house (they got a small fruit >>tree garden). She saw something that appeared like light balls moving on >>the power lines and rolling on the fields around... The power station is >>just a couple of 100's of meters from my parents' home, and they would >>often look in the direction of it - as they feared that it's going to be >>bombed, but this time there were no detonations at all. It seems that what >>my mother have seen were the "soft bombs", a new product made in the NATO >>laboratories...It seemed so funny to think about my parents witnessing the >>world-premiere use of a new weapon... >>Remember that I mentioned the NATO aircraft fuel pods falling all over the >>country? The one was found today, at the plantation where Gordana >>works...The man who was riding a tractor have found a large crater in the >>middle of the field, and went to the police to report about it... After the >>experts come to the site, they have found dropped fuel pod, but it's still >>not clear WHEN it fell down... >>While reading the newspapers, you can find a lot of the war horror stories >>- two days ago, they have found a body of a 6 year old boy, floating in the >>river. He was identified as one of the victims from the train which was >>bombed by NATO three weeks ago... >> >>May 8th 1999 >>Last night, I was hardly having any rest, because of the pain in my elbow, >>and the problems of learning to put the plastered hand in the most >>comfortable position while trying to sleep... Not to mention the new >>techniques that I was trying to develope, like - how to put on the contact >>lenses singlehanded... >>Our window panes were trembling because of the strong detonations coming >>from the direction of Belgrade...NATO has first used their 'soft bombs" >>during the evening, to short out the electrical lines in Belgrade. After >>that, while still in the dark, many parts of the city were exposed to heavy >>bombing, in four strikes,last of which took place in the early morning >>hours. Some of the streets in the center were closed down, with broken >>glass and pieces of concrete and pieces of shrapnels all over the >>place...One of the buildings that were bombed was, to everybody's surprise, >>the Chinese Embassy! Two projectiles hit the building, killing 3 people ( >>thus far) including the Chinese journalist, and injuring more people... >>Until soon >>Sasa DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
