This is a first-person account of the 24 July 2001 attack on Bandaranaike International Airport, told from inside the pressure of a burning Air Force hangar. It follows the people who moved aircraft through smoke, fuel, darkness, and uncertainty before the fire could take more of them.
Its value is the human record behind the headline: the decisions made in seconds, the responsibility carried by the people on the ground, and the private cost of leaving family behind to run toward danger.
