(Ha'aretz) Tsahar Rotem - Alexander Meister, 48, a mechanic who has worked at the port for 13 years and suffered shrapnel wounds, said one of the injured he had accompanied to the hospital told him that he had seen one of the terrorists before the explosion, and said he recognized him from the Erez industrial zone. Meister told of how he had seen four workers in his department murdered right in front of his eyes, and a fifth seriously injured. Ashdod resident Itzik Tubol, 33, said, "I was driving home from work when suddenly I saw on my right the roof of the building flying off and parts flying through the air." Tubol said he stopped his car on the side of the road and rushed over to help with the evacuation of the injured. Just then, the second explosion occurred and "everything went black," he recalled.
