19:21 44 rooms that people used. A lot of those rooms had two and three and four people in it, depending on... This was built from church donations by the people who worked outside? First we used wood from the old houses that were originally there then we bought lumber if we had to. Let's go right into then I want each of you comment on this February 28, 1993. I heard about this through the media and right off the bat okay. Tell us what were you doing? What did you do? They brought me here because we're in different cities running paper
20:43 was talking about David and of course they were given... Well I went, uh, I could-I was trying to read it and then I decided no wait till everybody finished. And then I'll get the paper and go upstairs and read it so I ran upstairs. When I came down everyone had just dissipated going into their own rooms And I hunted around and picked up the different sections to finish the article. We had two big windows in the foyer, and I was in the far window, and as I looked out, I saw these vehicles coming in! And I stopped for my room, and I look out of the second window, when I do see that they're coming in, and I knew they would not go down the road because there's nothing down there...I could see that they were going to stop in front of the trailers. And I wondered what in the world are men gonna do?
21:42 Lots of times the men would have something that they would be doing and the women would not be absolutely conscious of everything they were doing at the time. You thought it might be, it was Branch Tavis? Oh yes I thought it was somebody coming and had gone out and got these two big cabins And so I ran up the back way to my room and threw the papers on my bed. And I was about to lay down when I heard this terrific noise, I knew it was helicopters. I went to the window because I was in the back of the room and looked out and when I did saw these three helicopters in V formation
22:24 toward the end of the building, the north side and the big water tower that was still standing. And they were firing and I know it was...I just stood there stunned because I couldn't believe this was happening you know it's like looking at a movie and then realizing is reality and they were fighting and they were firing at David's room There was no other building in that particular time And I stood there watching, and I could see the shooting. And I could hear it and knew what was going on. Then they started to turn. Well they were between the second and third floor. And I'm on the second floor. And I realized if they start to turn, I very likely am gonna get hit. They're down on the floor as their turning. Of course as they are turning, they are not firing until they get around a way
23:29 Now there was no shooting before that. And then apparently, I figured by the time they got to the front of the building... That started in the front They had already hit our water tanks and killed Peter Jant? No, no, Peter Jant was... It was Winston Blake that was on his bed with a piece of toast in his hand Right! And it had gone through the water tank and went into Jaydeen was up on the, in her bed. Up on the... She had the second tier and she was on the second floor down from my room and she had just given her baby to her older daughter when she got shot and killed in bed. And after that it was just shooting and everybody hit the floor! All of women took their children put them under them
24:29 And I kept thinking, they're going to come over that roof. You know if I had come in and attacked a place that's where I would have come it was most vulnerable spot because that roof was only about three feet at the most to the bottom of the windows and the windows were open And I thought, along where our rooms were and then went along the hallway. And I thought surely somebody's going to try it so I kept looking at that and they kept yelling at me to get down because one of the girls that was doing this, me to get down she said you're gonna get hit because she could feel a bullets go through her hair and she is laying on floor how did he get here? I don't know anyway
