" I thought, 'This is how you die'."

" It was so quick, it washed us so far away - the carriage kept filling up with water. I was telling my friend to run to the front of the carriage, the windows there were still above the water. I pushed my friend through the window to get her up out of the carriage. There was a woman next to me holding her baby trying to hold the window open with the other hand. As I tried to help her the carriage filled completely, the water pushing the window shut...Only my friend managed to get out... Back at the other end of the carriage it was dark, I held my breath, I thought, 'This is how you die'." Tourist Danny Shahaf, an Israeli living in London, was on the "Samudra Devi"
