and running things in german. i'm an american and i have only lived here three months so i don't know much german but i knew enough to run, and i just ran in the other direction. and there's not much cover in these markets, so there's really no place to run. you sort of have to hide behind a stall or, you know, just keep running, and i heard some popping and i thought maybe there's a guy with a gun. you know, we see it a lot in america with these people going on a rampage with guns, so i just tried to duck and cover and hid behind a stall with a bunch of other people until we thought it was safe to come out. >> do you remember seeing much security at the market before the truck went into the crowd? >> there's always security around these markets and around berlin. they're not as obvious as what you see in the u.s. with the guys in the army fatigues and the guns. they're kind of a little, you know, hidden. they're not so obvious, but
