1:37 am
even that i said that they came quite ashore. they didn't expect the building itself, actually to be mostly an architect. he then stress came up with a new hotel concept what he called a city in a hotel which you have no need to leave. busy floors and corridors which will open into a spacious lobby, giving the illusion of greater size the holiday in the grand opening was on the 6th of october, 1983 with the president of the international olympic committee. one antonio summer ranch in attendance. one of the few people who work to the hotel since the start is high row rough channing. he's now the hotels executive director down president. escape very small center at the southern gardens below that below the hotel. whatever it was for the village for moment, just kept to sit near below,

1:39 am
in 1980 left, a political vacuum, a worsening economic crisis. and led to a wave of nationalism in the early 19 ninety's, b, a croatia, slovenia, bosnia, herzegovina, montenegro, a macedonia, pulled themselves violently upon after the 1990 elections in both near her governor 3 main nationalists parties. share power. the muslim s d, a led by elia is a vacovich, the serv, sds, under rather than courage, and a branch of from you to germans, croatian h d that the s d a n h d 's ed wanted independence. wellness serve as d. s. wanted to remain in the realm of yugoslavia along with serbia and montenegro . so the relationships between these 3 parties soon deteriorated dramatically.
1:40 am
on the 29th of february, 1992 above me and independence referendum was held. the muslims, known as both next and the croatians took a full part. but the bosnian serbs largely boycotted the vote and rejected the yes result. on the 1st of march, the same day a serb wedding party was sporting the serbian flag in downtown san diego. when it was fired on by a bosnian muslim gangster killing the grooms father, the family made for the holiday inn where a number of rooms had become the temporary h q of the bosnian serb leader rather than the carriage. the bloody wedding episode may have offered the bosnian serbs the opportunity they've been waiting for that same night, they began implementing what was effectively a dress rehearsal for the siege of sorry, a bow. barricades appeared. an armed masked man stalked the streets from
1:41 am
his hub, but the holiday in red of an carriage over saw the action. this room room 5 studio, the suite was all seized by rather an cottages, the leader of the serbian democratic party rest. yes, he lived here with his family in this sweet cottage, his wife and his 2 children. and they stayed here until the shootings on the 6th of april, at 1992, where after cottage escaped from the hotel with his family. the sign monday, the 6th of april, a large but peaceful protest for balls in the in unity had made its way from the parliament towards the holiday inn and carriage. but snipers on the upper floors open fire was the engine list. semi courage was near by when the shooting started. i remember when the shot came from the holiday and actually we heard cracks. we heard some noise and then we so people, you know, falling down stairs,
1:42 am
you do running everywhere, you know, hiding behind trees, find some small buildings and everything. the better place. civilian hotel was not in a proud, sol harlem. and so for sally panell, him, guys in my name is spelled parliament up front to search it for you, but it will be with swat. it was 6 civilians were killed on that 1st day of the siege carriage it. she's gods and family escaped from the hotel, but both the police arrested subs snipers in the lobby of the holiday in which then remain closed for several months. from here, the 3 and a half year war erupt it, and spread across all of bosnia her governor. in
1:43 am
april and may 1992 dozens of journalists had arrived in sarajevo among the experience martin bell to be here tomorrow. negotiating from this very hotel. i don't see that he and his crew 1st stayed here at the hotel bozeman. in elisha, near the martin bel lives in north london. he left the b. b. c in 1997 to become a member of parliament, and is now a unicef ambassador. but to those who knew and in both near, he'll always be the man in the white suit. we arrived in a great rush because the wood already broken out, and frankly, we were a day late. we drove in from belgrade,
1:44 am
and the obvious place stopping place was ojo wasn't in elisha. the 1st major battle of the war took place on the 22nd of april 1992 in an around the hotel between the bosnian serbs and yugoslav, army on one side and the emerging bosnian muslim groups on the other. it lasted for 10 days. one camera man was wounded and other tv cruise rooms were hit by snipers, and shelley margin. bell and his crew were trapped inside the hotel with all the journalists, guests, and stuff. these red pitches shot by the bbc's, eric powell, chopin and crew, doing a live link for london with may have going on around the morning. so
1:45 am
we were on the balcony of the hotel. and while we were there, a huge battle erupted all around us. as they have done in the past to me, but it is, it is difficult to see that working at the moment because it is not as you around me, the real call at 6 o'clock and sometimes things happen and i filled the air above my head. somebody was happening to it, a bulletin whistle by and, and, and suck air out of it. and it hit the wall behind me. if it, excuse me, i just want to break off because we had somebody once in danger, the crew out here and at that point i turned to the camera men and i said, look, the scale out of here for our own safety. and we just closed down and went inside. and that was the last time you did alive to way in a public space in bosnia, for the whole of the more on the 15th of may. 1992
1:46 am
margin bell and all the other journalists left the hotel both and set up the new base of the holiday. in the summer of 1992, the subs were tightening the new surround sarajevo and the shedding and like this were relentless and indiscriminate. the holiday inn had become the permanent home for hundreds of correspondence, photographers and crews. among them was pole low and a bosnian journalist and an average age who had become his wife. after the war. hiero rough channel welcomed his old friends back to the holiday, and i think maybe the holding became the wall hotel in, sorry, because of a kind of accident, but also by design because of its unique location, the center of the city almost like this kind of fortress that you could look out
1:47 am
from all sides on to the rest of the terrain. somehow or other. we don't have never quite sure why the hotel managed to keep the supplies of food coming in and managed to keep itself relatively safe. was sheldon shot out on occasion, but in general it was seen as there's kind of safe haven in the center of the city hotel was very strange place. i remember and i came here for the 1st on it. it was just amazing. that was all this journalist that was, you know, most of them experience. it was like a little town in itself. by the time i came back, which was a but the 2nd week in june, the holiday inn was more or less put together, but i stayed. and a flat which actually had a better view on the holiday and of the nightly pyrotechnics of the fighting. ah, that i felt i needed to be closer to the gossip of the press court. so i also took
1:48 am
a room in the newly reopened holiday and told me about the 22nd of june. and that's how i 1st came to live there, and i loved the people in san diego. consider the 22nd of july 1992, the fiercest and bloody day of the siege. more than 3500 shells were fond across the city that day. most pictures and video of the bombardment of the city were filled with from the holiday and the hotel was hit directly several times by heavy fire from sir posts and go to bed. and mount treble ridge beside the hotel that you can see behind me was very badly damaged by shell and sniper fire. it was completely uninhabitable. journalist didn't use that side of the hotel but his m, your thought, your competitor below the stock line,
1:49 am
50 gallery of the same building. these red pictures filmed in may 993, show the scale of the destruction inside the hotel, where the main entrance and reception were the most dangerous areas. here was the 1st floor restroom, directly facing the front line. and here, an exposed side entrance, a virtual no go area. the basement garage itself, which shelton and so was packed with press cards and armored vehicle. but getting in and out every day was extremely dangerous. so there was a sense of his being in concrete cocoon, which was completely false because people were shot dead on the entrance to the hotel. but you know, they're kind of setting on sudden unwritten rules. he didn't come in through the front entrance and that was what happens. the people who were shot,
1:50 am
they came into the wrong entrance. basically i thought to myself, i've got a better chance of surviving if i don't enter the hotel through the main door, which was in the line of fire from the serbs opposite. and i had a further superstition as i was always walk to my room in the clockwise direction, however long it took rather than the anti clockwise direction. and it sort of helped to keep your life on the night of the 13th of november, 1994. the hotel was hit by a barrel shells, and smelling around causing a huge fire. and terminal in among the journalists. i do remember time in hotel voice was a shelter and thought of burning. at the time i was in the rotors office and very thick smoke. basically over took the whole floor before on the 5th floor and managed somehow to crawl out. for me myself. i spent a lot of time outside anyway, you know, so i felt safer when i came to than on the 3 of the river. but the no,
1:51 am
no, we didn't feel safe. there was no, no way we could have sold ah, the main street between the holiday inn and the parliament building became known as the night behind me if my or both me or the dragon of both. now it's the name of the street. the 25 years ago. this was known as a sniper alley. this is one of the most dangerous intersections in inside able the hotel thought immediately on 9th alley. and of course the journalists were living in and truck semitic. much of the sniper fire, which is one of the reasons why so much footage amity from journalists around this particular area. they were located in the hotel. the snipers were particularly active in this area.
1:52 am
according to 995 un figures, 225 people were killed here, 60 of them children, and over a 1000 injured during the siege, the foreign correspondence and photographers became a part of people's daily lives in san diego. on the ground, the conflict was relentless, but the world became increasingly de sensitized to people's pain and suffering. some like march in bel pull marshal and bobo liz dag stopped wearing flat jackets and helmets, while reporting amongst civilians. nita pulls on myself works like jackie during the war on our regular work missions during the day. because for him, as for me, was really decent to wear flag jacket in front of the unprotected people from who were in the street and who will completely exposed to snipers and shelling every
1:53 am
single day. mm it keep it, keep us cnn unami for a minute, which, you know, small of the sort of weather donna donaldson set up the course key. i its sub vicious kayla computer are many so cardoso we are currently merely asked me oh, i still photography toll no also captured moments of great power and poignancy. his prime location was at the notorious night per intersection by ali pasha mosque
1:54 am
on marshall tito street. here he took one a v i konig, pictures of the siege of, sorry, a bow where we're standing now is probably the most dangerous place, the entire city to sun. so when people want to come join the water, get into the main pulse of 50. they had to cross that intersection and the only way you could do that was to sprint for your life. otherwise you would have been killed . the so i start from exactly this position because i was protected from this night that in the hills. if i move for just a couple of centimeters, then i could have been shocked. but from here i was protected by the the tomb and by the role. and i could stay here relatively safely and shoots it shoots, it shoots and shoot. me stories abound involving generalists and the people. i'm
1:55 am
sorry, even church schalk was an american journalist, whom every one of the holiday inn knew well me. one of the most dramatic scenes of the siege took place at lyon cemetery on the 4th of august, $992.00. schalk was there with a team from roy covering the funeral of 2 children killed by noises. despite the shelling he tended to a badly wounded woman, then got her into his agency car and took her to the hospital. kurt shook reported on another tragic story. it took place close to the holiday inn of the notorious for benya bridge, and became known as the sarajevo romeo and juliet shook. heard about 2 bodies lying at the bridge. and he and semi courage went to get
