Witnesses described the sound as a rumbling noise akin to a jet, instigating an intense feeling of danger among protesters. This chaotic scene left many feeling disoriented, as they struggled to navigate through the fear-stirring atmosphere, reminiscent of a threatening approach of an unseen threat.
It sounded like a crazy rumbling, like a jet flying overhead. But it wasn't deafeningly loud—not more like a distant, threatening noise.
The noise felt like an airplane was landing, coming from the direction of the Presidential Palace.
It felt like some invisible wave that split us to the left and right, the body felt intense panic and disorientation.
We couldn't escape it; we didn't know what to do. You didn't know if something would fall on your head or if you'd be hit from the side.
