According to the video, she also had nine siblings, five of whom had gone to school that day and perished.
He continues: 'The fact that she was a little further away from the blast was the first thing that helped her out.
'The second thing was that right before it dropped, she had gone inside to use the bathroom so was shielded a bit from the initial heat blast and the debris.
'One of her brothers who was standing outside [was] dead instantly. From there her memory gets a little foggy, she said she trauma blocked the rest that happened.
What she could remember involved her running for protection underneath a table, while the clothes she was wearing melted onto her skin.
