translator: the water was just too strong and swept him away, and i had to leave the poor thing to its death. poor thing. no one could save him. for tense moments, it looks like iliar will also be swept away. it was very, very dangerous. iliar hasn t made a knot to hold on to. with the unrelenting water pulling her down, she hangs on for her life as her neighbors scream in horror. it was her hands that were gribbing. there was no knot. it was loose. with iliar clinging to the rope with all of her strength, the neighbors on the roof brace themselves and pull. translator: we pull and pull. i couldn t see her. i thought, i don t think i can pull anymore. i don t think i can stand it. slowly, painfully, iliar is hoisted up one floor at a time. as she dangles over the raging waters, no one is certain that she ll make it to the top without the rope breaking.
