First British survivor of the flotilla massacre comes home. "It was like a horror movie" says Sarah Colborne

She described how the events began to unfold at 11 o’clock on the Sunday night when Israeli warships were spotted on the radar and were then spotted visually as they began to approach the unarmed humanitarian sea convoy. She explained that those on board tried to issue a distress signal and "were trying to broadcast messages that we were a humanitarian aid flotilla. That we were peaceful, that we had no weapons, that we were being threatened by the Israeli Navy in international waters and that we were calling on the international community to come to our aid. Israel had been blocking the satellite transmission and so it was difficult to get the message out."
........."It felt unreal. You just couldn’t believe that this was happening. We knew that the Israelis could use tactics like this. We know they use tactics like these against the Palestinians, they have massacred Palestinians in the past, [but] we did not think they would use these measures against a group of civilians, aged from, the youngest was under one, the oldest was 89. We never thought they would do this to civilians from 32 countries on that ship, (there were more countries represented on the entire flotilla). [We] were on a humanitarian aid mission. We obviously had no arms. We had gone through the Turkish port and obviously everything had been thoroughly searched by the Turkish authorities. There was absolutely no way there were any arms on the ship."
