00:00 It was just awful.
00:02 I'm sorry, I'm getting upset.
00:05 - Oh, don't worry, Jane.
00:07 - It was so awful.
00:08 It was like Dante's Inferno, I kid you not.
00:12 We were breathing in ash and smoke.
00:14 There were hundreds of people on the beach,
00:17 the rock face on either side of us,
00:19 because we thought that can't burn.
00:21 We're gonna be fine here.
00:22 It was a light.
00:24 Wherever there's scrub, it was a light.
00:27 The only way off of that beach was by boat.
00:30 Luckily for us, our water sportsman
00:34 was ringing every person he knew
00:37 who owned boats in the area to come and get us.
00:40 And they were bringing small boats,
00:44 ones that take you parasailing.
00:45 These things weren't meant to take lots of people.
00:49 Eventually, larger boats were coming
00:52 that would do big day trippers.
00:54 - So you've got a flotilla arriving
00:57 to come and get you off the beach.
00:58 - Oh, right, don't talk!
00:59 They were fantastic, the Greek people.
01:02 This isn't the Greek government.
01:04 This isn't any authority.
01:05 This is the Greek people
01:07 who were placing themselves at risk,
01:09 because by this time,
01:10 the smoke was clinging to the seawater.
01:13 It was black.
