“I heard a bomb first, at the Marriott, the bomb at 10 to 8, and a lot of people crying. And 10 minutes after a bomb in the hotel. The building moved a lot and we start to hear alarms. So I went out to hotel and in the lobby the building was destroyed and a lot of glass everywhere. And some people were going out with a lot of blood and very bad situation."

「在大約將近8點的時候,我首先聽到一陣爆炸聲,隨即聽到很多人在哭叫的聲音。十分鐘後,建築物開始搖晃地很厲害,然後馬上聽到警報的鈴聲大作。在此時我立即衝出飯店,隨後發現整個飯店大廳被摧毀,到處都是玻璃碎片。我看到有些人身上流著血不斷地衝出飯店,情況真地很糟糕!」
