street from where this happened. what did you see in the aftermath? >> well, we're less than a mile away. and we heard a thunder boom. at least we thought it was thunder but there was no more thunder. i looked out and the sky did look dark. thought there was a storm coming. it was an unusual type of thunder. i thought, if that's a blast, a bomb, it's like what i heard when i was in afghanistan and we couldn't possibly be having something like that happening here. but when it became evident that this was an explosion and approximately where it was, we first heard it was around the grand hyatt erawan hotel, my videographer and i and our news editor were near the location and also thought it was a thunder boom. we arrived on the scene and it was quickly evident that someone had set off a bomb intended to kill and mame a lot of people, eshl tourist.
