Fortunate to be in a hospital unit during Naples bombings. True safety found in unexpected places.

The split-screen technique effectively captures both the narrative and the reaction, enhancing engagement.
Starting mid-thought creates immediate curiosity.
The static, unpolished look adds authenticity to the archival/historical nature of the content.
