Yinon Yazdi was among the passengers on the ill fated Egged 402 bus from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv on Sunday, 5 Adar I. He spoke with Kol Berama Radio explaining �My mazel is I sat on the side behind the driver. The person to my right on the other side was killed in the crash. B�H B�H I am here because of a miracle, nothing less, for I was a meter away.

�I heard shouts of �help me� and �save me� and there was a lot of panic. People were not sure what was going on but there were shouts to call ambulances because we saw some of the people were dead.

�It seemed like forever. Over 15 minutes passed and people were on the floor and the ambulances simply did not arrive. I am certain the bus is to blame. The truck was not moving. The driver in my opinion was flying, traveling way to fast. B�H the bus was half empty, and this too is a miracle.

�I was taken to Tel Hashomer. Right now I have some pain in my lower back and side of my face�.
