    "She could see how other people were help over the fence, her sister was pushed over and she tried to give a hand, but she could not. And she could not move her self. But there was a guy standing behind her. Apparently he was quite tall and big and he did all he could to give here some space and room to breath. The security guards did not see her when she was standing there but he made shore that they became aware of her distress and helped her to get over the fence. One the guards and the paramedics was taking her away from the chaos she could see have Eddie Vedder was crying on stage. She was one of the last girls that got over. And the guy who helped her did not. Nine people died that day."

    Did the paramedics take your future wife away immediately? Because if she saw Eddie cry, that was when those poor kids were discovered and everything stopped. Right? Your hero is tall and big, he made it.
    Your story is very touching, something good in all that tragedy. Thanks for sharing.

    "There is neither happiness nor misery in the world;
    there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more.
    He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
    We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life."
    - Alexandre Dumas

    God bless.
    Cheers.
