Assad shell drops next to school

March 19, 2015 at 2:27 pm

A video by journalist Faisal Al-Kassem appears to show a Syrian school at the moments when a Syrian regime rocket lands next to it.

In the video a teacher can be heard saying: “What is happening to us is history, history that is being written. History is documented on video. [In the past] they used to document history on paper, right? Let us document our history. In the future, if God lets us live, when you grow up, you will tell your grandsons: ‘This happened to us and we were in school,’ etc.”

While the teacher was talking a rocket can be heard falling nearby and the students quickly take to the ground. The plane dropped a shell that almost wiped out the school.
