canada goose coats A Crime Against Humanity canada goose coats
Canada Goose Parka \tThe following script is from \”A Crime Against Humanity\” which aired on April 19, 2015. Scott Pelley is the correspondent. Nicole Young and Katie Kerbstat, producers. \t \tIf you have young children watching right now, usually that\u0027s a good thing, but this story is not for them. The pictures you are about to see are agonizing. This will be hard to watch, but it should be seen. \t \tGenerally, mankind does not outlaw weapons. Anything a military can think of is in the arsenals of the world. But there are a few exceptions and one of them is for a weapon so hideous that virtually every country has banned, not only its use, but the mere possession of it. The weapon is sarin. It\u0027s nerve gas. For several months we have been gathering evidence. Much of what you are about to see has not been canada goose parka uk public before. None of what we found will be omitted here.\”Nobody knew what was going on. People were just praying for God to have mercy on them. Sir, I\u0027ve seen things you won\u0027t even dream about in your worst nightmares.\” \t \tAbout two in the morning, August 21st, 2013, hundreds in the suburbs of Damascus were awakened by the panic of their last breath stuck in their throats. Neighbors carried neighbors to makeshift clinics. \t Victims were stripped and washed. Everything was tried but nothing could be done. There was no forcing life into lungs that could not accept it. Their nerves, electrified by sarin, fired non stop. Muscles seized until death released them. \t \tKassem Eid: Nobody knew what was going on. People were just praying for God to have mercy on them. Sir, I\u0027ve seen things you won\u0027t even dream about in your worst nightmares. \t \t[Kassem Eid: I\u0027m on a tour inside the streets of Moadamiyah.] \t \tKassem Eid has recorded his nightmares in Moadamiyah. Four years ago, the suburb rebelled against the dictatorship of Bashar al Assad. Eid has shown the world the shelling and years of hunger imposed by an army blockade. \t \tHe was there in August when strange rockets canada goose outlet store quebec pummeled the night. \t \tKassem Eid: And when they crashed, they didn\u0027t make the same old fashioned bombing sound. But it was, in a way, silent. \t \tScott Pelley: The rockets hit the ground but it didn\u0027t sound to you like they were exploding. \t \tKassem Eid: Yes. They were didn\u0027t sound like it was they were exploding. canada goose jacket outlet uk With the closest rocket hit almost 100 meters away from the place that I was staying in. \t \tScott Pelley: Three hundred feet or so. \t \tKassem Eid: Yes. And within seconds, it just took seconds before I lost my ability to breathe. I felt like my chest was set on fire. My eyes were burning like canada goose outlet hell. I wasn\u0027t able even to scream or to do anything. So I started to beat my canada goose outlet in toronto chest really hard. \t \tScott Pelley: Beat your chest? \t \tKassem Eid: Yes. Trying to take a breath. Just canada goose outlet edmonton to be able to take a single breath. It was so painful. It felt like somebody was tearing up my chest with a knife made of fire. \t \tOver the years, artillery had sheared the tops off of the neighborhoods, so women and children slept in basements. Sarin, is heavier than air, it slipped past doors and crept down stairwells. Death was arbitrary. It seemed, for every corpse, there was a witness who just missed a lethal dose. A neighbor appeared at Kassem Eid\u0027s door.\”I cannot imagine how anybody can do this to people, to other people. canada goose outlet store toronto Dying this way is one of the most ugliest ways of death canada goose outlet michigan people ever knew through history.\” \t \tKassem Eid: And she had two of her kids suffocating and vomiting this weird white stuff out of their mouths. She was begging us to help her, to get her children canada goose outlet mississauga to the field hospital. This field hospital is just a basement in a building with almost zero canada goose outlet kokemuksia medical equipments. \t \tScott Pelley: It\u0027s not a real hospital. \t \tKassem Eid: It\u0027s not a real hospital. \t \tKassem Eid: It felt like judgment day for me. \t \tSarin has no color, no odor. Often the dead drop never knowing what happened. But their eyes bear witness. The seizures draw the pupils tight. And the world goes dark which might be a blessing. \t \tThis father had willed his daughters through months of hunger. Now he\u0027s shouting, \”Do you know what they said before going to sleep? I gave her food. She said, \u0027Dad it\u0027s not my turn to eat, it\u0027s my sister\u0027s.,\u0027\” he goes on, \”What should we do good people? canada goose outlet near me What are we to do? Look at that face, look at that face.\” \t \tScott Pelley: You were being exterminated. \t \tKassem Eid: I know. I cannot imagine how anybody can do this to people, to other people. Dying this way is one of the most ugliest ways of death people ever knew through history. \t \tThe history of sarin begins in the 1930s. It was a Nazi weapons program. The name is an acronym of the scientists\u0027 last names. In 1997, sarin, and other chemical weapons were outlawed. And, the world set up the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Scott Cairns is a chemist and lead inspector for that organization. \t \tScott Pelley: A person who is exposed to sarin, what do they experience? \t \tScott Cairns: A number of physical symptoms and some psychological effects. You get this overwhelming sense of doom and hopelessness and fear. \t \tScott Pelley: And what causes death? \t \tScott Cairns: Typically, it\u0027s the paralysis of the respiratory system eventually. Your muscles don\u0027t work. You lose the oxygen to your brain. It just puts you into overload. It\u0027s a very horrible way to die. \t \tAs fate would have it, Scott Cairns would see evidence of that for himself. He was in Damascus with a team the day of the assault. They\u0027d arrived days before to investigate other alleged chemical attacks. \t \tScott Cairns: I\u0027d just gotten up and what I thought I\u0027d heard was another regular bombardment of conventional weapons to the east of Damascus. \t \tHe had heard the rockets in route to the largest canada goose factory outlet vancouver sarin massacre of civilians since Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 1988. Cairns demanded access. trucks and the shooting started. \t \tScott Pelley: What happened? \t \tScott Cairns: The gunman was firing on the first two vehicles. \t \tScott Pelley: So, the vehicles were hit? \t \tScott Cairns: Oh, the vehicles were hit. The first vehicle was disabled. \t \tScott Pelley: Did you find out who was shooting at you? \t \tScott Cairns: No. \t \tScott Pelley: Why do you think they were shooting at you? \t \tScott Cairns: They were shooting at us just to tell us, send us a message. If they wanted to kill us, they would\u0027ve killed us. At no point was there any interest in the turning around and going back to the hotel. \t \tScott Pelley: Finding and documenting the truth was worth risking your life for. \t \tScott Cairns: Yes. \t \tScott Pelley: How\u0027d you go about your work? \t \tScott Cairns: Very quickly. We canada goose uk didn\u0027t have a lot of time. We had places where we could set up our interview stations. We could take samples. Biomedical samples from people. Blood, urine, hair. \t \tThey also collected cellphone videos and swabbed samples from mangled rockets. Days later, in a community called Zamalka, they discovered the rockets were much larger and had delivered even more gas. Never before had investigators arrived at a chemical crime scene so soon. \t \tScott Cairns: Well over 90 percent of the samples that we took tested positive for Sarin. \t \tScott Pelley: What witness sticks in your mind as the person you cannot forget? \t \tScott Cairns: There are several. A child of seven or eight who lost most of his family. A woman of in her early 30s who lost her entire family. Her husband and all her kids. A man that out of his 20 canada goose outlet in uk family members, he was the only one left alive. So interviewing these people was very difficult. \t \tOur work to find witnesses took us out into the desert. The refugees we found were on the run from the regime of Bashar al Assad. These people asked us to not show you their faces or tell you their names because they have family back in Syria and they are quite certain the dictatorship would hunt them down. Even at that, they told us some risks have to be taken to tell this story. \t \tThis man told us, \”Assad gassed people. He killed people. He\u0027s killing women. \t \tWhat he did could not be done by any other human being. He killed everything, even the trees.\” \t \tHe and his son, who is a nurse, told us that they were among those who had given first aid. \t \tScott Pelley: How many patients did you treat that day? \t \tHe told us, \”People were being brought in on ambulances, motorcycles, pickup trucks, a tractor, and a semi. There were people rushing in their canada goose outlet germany kids, crying out, \u0027Help him, help him, he\u0027s about to die.\u0027 I didn\u0027t have a chance to count.\” \t \tThis woman was three months pregnant with her son when the gas entered her lungs. She \”came to\” in an aid station. Her brother was carried in next. \t \t \”He was calling my name before he died,\” she said. \”\u0027Take care of your mother,\u0027 he told me.\” \t canada goose outlet store new york \tScott Pelley: How did you survive? \t \tWoman: I lived by God\u0027s will. But I wished I had died. \t \tHer son was born six months later. She believes he has epilepsy. \t \tWoman: He loses consciousness; he starts shaking; his mouth foams. The same canada goose outlet store uk symptoms I had. \t \tScott Pelley: How often does he have these seizures? \t \tShe told us, \”approximately three a day.\” \t \tThe rockets were types used by the Syrian army, and they were launched from land held by the dictatorship. intelligence believes the Syrian army used sarin in frustration after years of shelling and hunger failed to break the rebels. \t \tWith the threat of airstrikes, President Obama forced Assad to give up his chemical arsenal. But if Assad was the triggerman there is one thing odd about the timing. \t \tScott Pelley: Why would anyone launch the largest chemical weapons attack in decades while chemical weapons inspectors are in town? \t \tScott Cairns: I ask myself that a lot. I don\u0027t know. \t \tScott Pelley: We don\u0027t know why. \t \tScott Cairns: No. I don\u0027t think we\u0027ll ever truly know. \t \tWe also don\u0027t know, precisely, how many died but have a look around the makeshift morgues so many were lost, all at once, that the living had to make room for the dead. intelligence estimates 1,429 civilians were killed; 426 of them, children. Of course, Syria is dying too. canada goose discount uk Prosecution of this atrocity will have to wait for whatever civilization emerges from the ruin. Anything a military can think of is in the arsenals of the world. But there are a few exceptions and one of them is for a weapon so hideous that virtually every country has banned, not only its use, but the mere possession of it. The weapon is sarin. It’s nerve gas. For several months we have been gathering evidence. Much of what you are about to see has not been public before. None of what we found will be omitted here. Canada Goose Parka
