01:36He told me he heard gunshots and a car speeding.
01:48When he heard gunshots and a car speeding...
01:55was having a good time.
01:56And then I feel like after that, I went to sleep.
01:59My brother came in to the room.
02:00At some point, he woke me up.
02:01He told me he heard gunshots and a car speeding.
02:05But he didn't actually see it.
02:06But he was like, something was going on.
02:08Yeah, I mean, well, I'm just not here on vacation.
02:10But it's just really scary, especially because over there,
02:15we could see from our window, because we were staying on the
02:17Canal Street side, some of the bodies that were being lined
02:20up on there, they had some tarp over there.
02:21And it was just scary.
02:23And I cried my eyes out, honestly.
02:27Last night, everybody was happy.
02:29The streets were beautiful.
02:30Everybody was having a good time.
02:32So we had thought about coming out after New Year's.
02:36And this is the area we were going to come to, is Bourbon.
02:39Because that's where all the music is and the fun.
02:42We just decided to stay low-key and stay at our hotel.
02:46So yeah, a block away, the decision probably
02:51saved our life.
02:53And me, my 11-year-old, my 15-year-old, and my wife, we
02:58went and did Bourbon.
03:00And saw Rung in the New Year.
03:01They came back about 1.30.
03:04I decided to go out, because we were here, and went around
03:08and walked back in this door a little bit after 3.
03:12So evidently, within moments after I walked back in this
03:16door, all that went on.
03:18Without a doubt, it was a simple decision of, did I get
03:22the hot dog at the street vendor, or did I not?
03:25And I did not, and so I walked in here.
03:27Otherwise, I'm standing right there.
03:49Don't miss out.
