When I got closer, I saw what had really happened. It was not a fire cracker, it appeared to be an explosion. At first, I did not realise it was a trolley-bus. People around were saying: ‘trolley-bus, trolley-bus!’ It was such a wreck that at first sight, it did not look like a trolley-bus.”<br /><br />Monday’s blast will undoubtedly raise fears for security ahead of the February 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
