The Bali Bombings Website - Terry Fitzgerald's Story

"I was lying on the floor, on my back and I couldn't get up, no matter how hard I tried. All I could do was lift my head a little and move my arms. Initially I thought I was trapped under something, but there was nothing on me, I just couldn't move. I wasn't aware of my injuries or the fact that I was burnt. I felt no pain that I can recall. I couldn't see Brendan and Jessica couldn't see the couple that were sitting at the next table, and I couldn't even see the table and chairs we were sitting at. Everything including the three of us had been blown but I don't know how far. I could see silhouetted people stepping over me to get out. Everything was still dark and still silent as I was trying to grab at the legs that were stepping over me but I just couldn't reach them or get their attention" - From the book "A Beautiful Boy" by Terry Fitzgerald (survivor of the Bali Bombings)

My Son...

"... a very special moment, father and son riding the same wave while on holiday. I thought that, in years to come, Brendan and I would reflect on that moment. Little did I know just how special that moment was to become. When our board hire time was up, we walked back feeling pretty pleased with ourselves and possibly somehow even closer for the experience, with the image of us on the same wave still very much being repeated in my mind. We were both saying, "How good was that!"

"I was sitting with my back to the bar area, Brendan was on my right and Jessica was opposite me, facing the bar area. It was a nice evening and we were just sitting down, relaxing and enjoying each other's company. It was just after 7pm."
