Witness ‘started running for my life’ and ‘thought she was going to die’
A witness has told The Mirror of her terror after seeing a mask-clad man setting part of Milan’s Malpensa Airport ablaze this morning.
Sophia Kim said she was checking in around counter 13 for her Cathay Pacific Airlines flight when she saw terror in the eyes of the staff member who was serving her.
She said: “I was checking in at counter 13 or 14 (Cathay Pacific Airlines check-in counter) and then all of a sudden the staff member who was assisting me- her eyes turned big and she covered her mouth in shock.
“It was then I turned around only to see the check in counter on the other side was on fire.
“I heard popping noises and a man wearing a white t-shirt with a blue surgical mask on with a hat was yelling out loud.
“It was then I started running for my life with my husband hand in hand. Everyone around me was in panic mode- screaming and running.
“I thought I was going to die. I am still very shaken up and scared. Please be careful.”
