I’m Ukrainian and I just had a panic attack watching this. Had to pause a lot. It’s fucking terrifying.
Sometime ago I was really interested in 9/11 tragedy, watched a lot of videos, read witness accounts, etc. But it is still something too distant, like a Hollywood movie, even when I can hear real people crying for help and dying.
This shit though, it hurts somewhere deep. Knowing my parents in Kyiv had to live in fear of the unknown with a toddler on their hands, knowing some of the firefighters that are still around us... Man. I don’t know how can I watch the second episode.
