“I went to the Kosel and got on the bus to leave. I sat next to the window. Two minutes later, I heard shooting. I saw that the window was shattered. I immediately dropped to the floor. People were crying and screaming – there were babies on the bus – and yelling Shema Yisrael.”

After ten seconds, it was over. Menachem didn’t even realize at first that he was injured because he didn’t feel any pain but then he saw the blood. His friend who was sitting next to him wasn’t injured at all since he wasn’t sitting next to the window.
