Syndicate: Belgrade is burning again... |
Around 04:30 am, cruise missiles hit Belgrade again! I've been responding to some e-mails when roaring detonation cut the night over Belgrade. I jumped to my window, when I heard another detonation and windows started lightly to shake. When I looked outside, I saw great orange mushroom growing over building roofs... Whole night sky, not just one part, was illuminated by this same orange light. This time the target was pure civilian object - heating plant in largest part of Belgrade (western part of the city, called New Belgrade, with more than 100.000 citizens). I can only imagine how was it at my grandmothers place. She lives on the 10th floor in a building which is no more than 800 meters far away from the plant... Right now (04:45), I cannot reach her over the phone. Probable phone lines overload... I also heard similar detonations in south-western part of the city (called Banjica), but because of neighbouring buildings that are closing my view, I could not see where exactly missiles hit. On TV they said it was something near the military hospital in Belgrade. I wonder what is on the menu for next night... :-(( Still standing, Slobodan Markovic | http://solair.eunet.yu/~twiddle Internodium Project | http://www.internodium.org.yu
