‘I pretended to die’: Moscow attack survivors describe miraculous escapes
People describe how they feigned death to survive or had other miraculous escapes during the terror attack at the Crocus City Hall.
Moscow’s Crocus City Hall was packed to the rafters on Friday night as fans of Picnic eagerly awaited the Soviet-era rock band’s arrival on stage.
The musicians were still in their dressing room when gunshots first rang out. At first, the audience thought it was part of the build-up to the show. Then several gunmen clad in combat fatigues burst through the doors and started shooting.
