"There wasn't a fire alarm, or anything that woke us up, it was my mom that heard the sound of the flames that got us to react, that something was wrong, and get to safety. (the picture of Kay in his dad's arms with his mother and sister behind them is shown) It was just at random that picture of us was taken, my dad just carried me down, and just ran out without having many clothes with us, it was just a coverall from.... I don't know if that's the Scandinavian Star we were on there (the picture) but, you see my mother and sister following behind. I remember that when we went ashore, we talked to the police, and we heard the police sirens, and that's what I remember. They opened a clothing store for us because we had no clothes and such, right after the disaster, so we got clothes. I've actually thought about that if we had fallen asleep, that we hadn't been awake around that time, we would all have met our demise"
that's the translated transcript of all that he said, it's just a summary of their escape from the boat
