When the flash has become the most vivid, I felt strong heat on my face (it lasted just fractions of a second) and severe pain in the eyes of the intolerable glare. Then, 2 minutes after the flash, was series of explosions – the sound was not rolling, but clear and very powerful. The first explosion was the strongest, but I felt only clap. "
