"[This] morning when I reach in my office and turn on the t.v. there is a news of plane crash. So I just lift up to roof and found heavy smoke with fire in front of me on the hills. I just start my bike and pick my [colleague] and reach at margilla road below hills, the last limit. Then from there we start follows the rescue teams, climbing on the hills. There was heavy rain and the path from ground to crash site in very dangerous and far away. About 1 and half hour.
