After a car bombing in Turkey’s capital killed at least 34 people and wounded around 125 others on March 13, local student Elnaz Hajikhani said her life was saved by a miracle.
The blast occurred on the city’s main boulevard, Ataturk Bulvari, close to Ankara’s main square, Kizilay. It happened adjacent to a bus stop near Guven Park, right in front of the Ministry of Education.
The private NTV news channel said a car, believed to be laden with explosives, detonated close to a bus, setting several vehicles on fire.
Suddenly I heard a massive explosion. All I could see was a big dark cloud.
