　　他告訴BBC，他從18樓向底樓逃命的過程中看到一幕幕絕望的場景。

　　"Everyone just started to panic, it was total chaos," he said. "I looked to the room on the right and there's blood everywhere."

　　“每個(gè)人都開始變得驚恐不安，周圍一片狼籍，”他說道。“我看向右邊的房間，到處都是血。”

　　“每個(gè)人都在奔跑，許多人并不知道發(fā)生了什么。人們的襯衣上沾著血跡，還有人把一個(gè)姑娘送往救護(hù)車。墻上和地上都是血。”

　　"It's awful seeing kids carried off covered in blood. I left Sri Lanka 30 years ago as a refugee and never thought I had to see this again."

　　“看到孩子們滿身鮮血得被抬走，感覺很糟糕。我30年前作為難民離開斯里蘭卡，從沒想過會(huì)再一次看到這些。”
