Later we came out into the lobby and could see rockets in the air. It was a heart-rending scene...I thank the organisers, it is due to their courage we could come out of there...When we were en route (to the airport), we saw burnt vehicles, pits on roads and Police presence. All 10 of us returned home safely..."
