town of beslan forever. it's morning this guy is quietly quiet but suddenly i hear a sweet maladie coming from the bar omar is singing i think a bird's eye view of the people below it's fascinating now the of turned on the light in one of the houses and three barefooted boys have emerged from another one i can hear a barking dog and crowing roosters sounds have killed the silence as for myself i keep flying in the sky i'm a cloud. but twelve year old girl by the name of emma is dedicated these lines to a home town of beslan which is situated at a thousand miles south of moscow amyloids being videotaped she signs this recording

back to the summer of two thousand for. the four best friends no longer lived in beslan. there is called the town of angels a cemetery. one hundred eighty six children are buried here and they all died on the same day september third two thousand. as.

let's go. slimed says we're waiting for is that right. sloan and libby so are ten years old they're twins. at the time of the best one school siege they were in before. but they still remember every minute of the distant events of september two thousand.

when there was a child recall that their son went this realize the kind of man one of the terrorists was here and there you fired it signifies. on the first of september two thousand and four salonen the free so were true young to start school. with in a small town like this lawn at the beginning of a new school year is a great occasion to slum in the research for a moment children. the first place. we're told that all of the girls should wear school uniforms on september first that's a brown dress and a white apron. what if they decided at that and that occasion they wouldn't invite their mothers to take part in the festivities she asked me if i had to go to school to recover

emma certainly wouldn't want you around we're adults already. i touched my lips with my fingers. as if sending a kiss to my daughter. i thought when she returned home i would have covered the cases. but that was the last one of. the year with friends to share stories from the summer holidays but that festive atmosphere was quite sure. it's. the first i thought it was the sound of bursting delusional something. valuable really scared when i saw people smashing windows. and running away as fast as they come.

back the way trying to spot a long unfolding million not my baby in my hands suddenly i thought flat on my back i see a thousand people rushing towards. i thought flashes through my mind i'm going to be killed in the stampede. really must lower crowded into the gym as if we were cattle man for the slaughter house we'll search wherever we could some on the floor others on the benches senior

proles were told to suspend trip wires from the ceiling only then did i realise what was going on. they didn't know arms were in that ring. there was one in the middle and smaller ones on each side. hostages were instructed to stay on the ground more than a thousand people sat on the floor of the gym with bomb suspended over their heads the terrorist demanded complete silence the hostages were not to shout cry or talk . still a kid so crying we were told so how do we are and this is where we were then made going for a hard thing they came to see who was helping and who wasn't there some machine guns were always at the ready but that had no effect the kids were crying as loudly as before. we're going to say that all the men were taken out of the room much once and they never came back. the men were taken to

a room on the second floor. there they were shot and thrown from the window. but i doubt if the two can girls out of the gym and reach them i mean these were very young girls what would possess someone to do something that oh i'll. do much one of the boys came up to a terrorist and give him five roubles i give you money and you let my mother go he said and the terrorist responded of them we've got loads of money go back to your place. the terrorists spoke to each other in the chechen like which on the first day they made no demands. why is the hall going to my daughter in law said to my son jim or do you take that jacket off it's too stuffy here he says we get out of here i'll buy you several jackets tomorrow said no it's a present from my mum. the terrorists announced their demands on me towards

evening of the second day. they said in a note to russian troops must leave the church on a public which was then and still is part of the russian federation. so there still i hope somebody would turn the clock but. let somebody would kill the terrorists and set us free. but time was it a stand still for the fathers and mothers of the children they never left the scene hoping they'd soon see their kids again. for two days and nights their children had been bullied and familiar they'd been deprived of food and deprived of water.

on the first day we felt we'd be able to leave the place soon but then we'd go to a shop to buy some soft drinks and as soon as we got home we would try mosques in the. shortest first entered the school building after the terrorist attack i had a bottle of water with me i always keep a bottle of water on my bedside table and i keep the lights turned on because i cannot sleep in a dark. children it's flowers they brought for their teachers to mark the start of a new school year they drank urine to quench their thirst so that made them even thirsty or. the only available source of water was trickling out of a tap in the toilets some of the children were occasionally allowed to go there. sponge themselves down with tory's soaked in water thirst was too much of a torture for some of the children to stop torture of toys and clothes. people

still bring bottles filled with water to the gym they do it every day and they always leave the bottles open to make it easier for the young angels to drink. the mass of people they gathered outside. on a certain day. they speak to back it is to be released there's no doubt in our minds that they'd be home the thought that they could be home never entered our heads. i was pretty scared when i heard the sound of an explosion overhead but at the moment i could breathe more freely the blast. and ripped open the roof lowering some air into the gym besides many of the people had stopped breathing that was.

indiscriminate gunfire canister. but it told us. she is a. stain children wearing nothing but underwear rushing out. some of them were shot back. down through a three bottles of water that could one searched. when i opened my eyes after the blast i saw the girl sitting next to me but my son wasn't anywhere near me i started looking for him all over the place good god i thought could he be dead. comment about the first thing i saw after the blast was a lightbulb hanging on the ceiling. everything around me had turned black i just

went to look for my mother. i approached a boy lying on the floor blood was losing out of his had she looked very much like my son and i couldn't bring myself to come closer in photo woman who was near me. is it my comic. fortunately for natalia the dead boy's name was not to my line and tell you son had survived the blast and so had her two daughters my hero mom stylist go on christina. and to tell you is unable to walk her left arm is almost motionless she was injured before the main blast by a fragment from a grenade that exploded in the hands of one of the terrorists then fragment remains stuck in her head for two days as she sat in the gym trying to comfort her three children and doctors say natalia still has a chance of recovering from her injuries but it requires

a long rehabilitation process and much money she's only thirty five years old which though my dream is to be in my special forces it was such officers the fifth. i want to get revenge on. the tween so sloan and larissa escaped death due to their mother's heroism she threw them out of the window right after the gym blast she also saved several other children and thankfully they managed to survive the ordeal herself. to this is me and my dad. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

the children of beslan may have had some sense of foreboding before the terrorist attack after the tragedy parents found odd looking drawings startling verses and morose entries and diaries among the items of their dead children.

these pictures were made by oliver tug of his son seymour he hoped to become an artist though most of his paintings showed landscapes for some inexplicable reason and made in a belt turn in the summer of two thousand and four. i would get though jane this picture shortly before the tragedy it shows an explosion as you can see one of the schoolchildren is going towards the building they did while the other one was thrown up into the air. was our it's a boy if true this picture. it shows a school a gym helicopters a fire a crowd of people around the island says and firefighters to wage was at that school . happened i was stunned when i first saw it. this is zero or strongly why did it all of an year old boy draw a picture of

a school in this context we will never know if the seller died in the terrorist attack. the most horrific part of it all came when the fire had been extinguished and the terrorists have been killed. parents for years searching for their children . i went through a terrible experience each time i saw an ambulance pulling up in front of the school. i never even looked at the first down the onces there were heading to the more. as soon as that answer one of the wards our neighbor demetre shouts to me i've seen the color i see to humorists she got me or i can't find her to which she says i saw

her in the jam. there were keys to our apartment in his pockets and they compared them with my own case it became clear that the boy was to more. i still keep the keys under the pillow and i go to bed. the girl. one in three hostages died in that fire i spent three days lucasfilm i don't to him on these dead bodies before i found her this. many others spend several months there.

was so when i went out of the house and i saw the coffin and i was so glad that i had found her. i put my arms around the coffin as if embracing it as if trying to help other is a bring it here. i'm not sure i can accurately describe my emotions but i think i was glad and by the fact that they had found her as. time has not healed many wounds for these people the simple fact is over the years these assertions have learned to live with their pain. children are no longer afraid of going to school and adults have reconciled themselves with the thought that letting them go to school is not dangerous.

should mean no avoid studios. today he prefers playing music to playing sports. he lost his best friend in the terrorist attack of two thousand and four and since then he's made nobody they can replace or. their old asli and now i take things easier. i would say. just six percent of what happened sixty years ago has evaporated from my mind we've got so. much is left a mere ninety four years. this year and yet his second daughter media will start school. and in time of the

terrorist attack she was just a year old at one point the terrorists allowed mothers and their babies to leave the gym. and you take a male with million in her arms. her older daughter along had to stay behind not long after she was killed. the memory was there a little here it's over there. in russia it's. east sunday and yet ten million visit the ruins of the school to them the place is like a church they come here to pray. and. you thought all people would be like saying thapar what happened. and they would

all understand that everything was perishable. they would realize there was only one thing worth living for and taking care of. but that never happened. in a knows exactly what she's supposed to do in the gym she picks up empty bottles lights candles and puts flowers in order seem to it that her mother doesn't cry. brothers hair is white now precious tries to touch when i go to school for the first time it will be my first day soon there will be three reasons to celebrate mother with her hair my birthday and i will start school. lost her only daughter in the attack the past years have not helped ease her pain you know prefers to put her thoughts on paper rather than speaking aloud. yet. moans and

nothing but defiance on the things i knew what i'm designed for it's flown was. the first and most treasured flower what that helped me understand my feet as spanish. doesn't keep a diary she often spends time reading those of her job her daughter emma emma hope to work in the fashion business she's left behind many miracle verses and funny stories will never know whether the world lost a great writer or dancer. they quickly. we're going out for good and when we get together at the cemetery we share our

collections have our kids. sometimes women laugh at the press or is by must think it odd that people laugh over think rafe's of their children and indeed sometimes we feel rather uncomfortable. but i can't help recalling some final episodes from their lives. today many see the town of angel cemetery as a holy place these graves are kept ideally the marble always looks big and span the photos never fade. there's not a single dry flower and the ribbons on the graves i mean that particular boy or girl would have finished school this year. but she was my guards there is a sense we live in an entirely different world. perspire happened then

it was like having your head in the cats and now the situation is quite different and life is different. says lone in the recent now have a brother and a sister their mother and father have decided they must have many children the more the merrier so slung has decided that he'll be a policeman when he grows up and lisa is still in two minds about what she hopes to do when she's older. and the terrorist attack on beslan school number one claimed three hundred thirty five lives including one hundred eighty six children. all of their photos are shown here. they sort of look comic artists musicians economists or doctors or just simply mothers and fathers of a new generation. in a recent survey people in beslan were asked whether they wanted to have the ruins

of the school left as they were or torn down altogether it was assumed they found looking at the landmarks in human fluency every day as for magic experience. yet it was decided not to tear down the school instead it will stand as a reminder of the atrocity and not just for the citizens or business line. it will be forever a reminder to the whole world that should never forget what happened on that day. a script nothing to wish evil keep it's for good people i wish there were there are ways be that way. and there was this world to be is going to fall as a lot errors and even more beautiful.
