Earthquake - Personal Stories of Sorrow

Re: Missed Call.

Sort of relative of ours in muzafarabad... the wife was a teacher at one of the colleges and the husband worked for a bank. Their kids were at home and they had locked the house from the outside. As soon as the tremors started they both left their work place and started running home with buildings falling left and right. She got home to find the kids safe and it was only their house in the neighbourhood that had not fallen. The husbands life was saved too cos he had run out of his office. She ran back with her kids towards the college and says the college had collapsed. She saw her own students dead, her collegues lying dead half under concrete and rubble, most of her neighbours dead, ppl they had spent 20 yrs with laying dead. Probably something she will never forget her entire life. She was fortunate to have escaped it all along with her husband and kids. Ofcourse there were other deaths in her family.

My chacha's neighbours were from kashmir too. Pretty much all their family was in muzafarabad. All dead in one stroke.
