What sticks with me the most from the survivor's testimony is when she said that she spoke to herself and said "I must remain calm. If I'm not calm, I will die in this building." Obviously, she is religious, as she says she had just finished her prayers and was beginning to recite something else (I didn't catch it). I believe her faith enabled her to find that place of calm which in fact, did save her life.
Yes, Gavriela; I really do believe that staying calm is the way of showing Hashem that all his/her faith and trust is totally in Hashem. Fear is a very natural emotion and emotions take over but one who is in deep heartfelt prayer brings calm which shows one has total trust in his/her Maker. This is important for all of us to work on. May H' protect every Jew and G-D fearing human being in these trying times.
