Two days ago, a terrible thunder strikes awoke me early in the morning. They were so intense and so close, that I was sure it was some kind of bombing. I clearly heard three or four “explosions”, immediately jumped at my window, totally frightened.
Now, I never think of bombings when I hear petards (even the “dynamite” ones), fireworks or whatever, but this was so extreme! And it woke me up, so I had no idea what’s going on… It reminded me of the first tomahawk bombs which striked relatively near my flat. My friend had a good view of the bomb from his window, and he was yelling, in a kind of excited voice “I see it, I see it, it is so slow, it’s about to hit the ground, I see it!”. Then we saw the flash. A moment later, the ground was shaking like it was an earthquake. It was no fun anymore.
Anyway, I guess there really is some sub-conscious kind of trauma of NATO bombings, although I never got that so “personal”. Or is it impossible?
