О чем Thor умолчал

14 мая 1992 года. 5 часов утра по местному времени. Аудиозаписи сделаны польским военным наблюдателем ООН в Сараево. В этот момент Тор находился в здании почты и телеграфа. Снайпер стрелял в него из того темного здания, что изображено на фото слева как раз в тот момент, когда Тор сделал эту фотографию.

Вот, что пишет сам Тор:Rainbow Hotel

These recordings were made by a Polish Military Observer in the Rainbow Hotel in the morning of 14 May 1992. The hotel suffered a direct hit that day and around 20 UN vehicles in the parking lot were destroyed.

Most of the UN staff had been assembled in the Rainbow Hotel – as it was considered saferSmile, but I had decided not to leave the PTT Building even when I was off-duty.

While watching the shelling around the Rainbow Hotel, a sniper bullet came through the window 50cm above my head a split second after I shot this picture. I believe the sniper was firing from the Oslobodenje building (the dark building on the left), which was relatively undamaged at the time – a range of around 600 meters.

The following day the UN evacuated Sarajevo. I drove one of the trucks in the convoy to Beograd, and it took us 15 hours to get there – normally a 4-5 hour drive, we drove through many roadblocks some of which were heavily mined. Going through Tuzla, we passed the scenes of very recent fighting.
