which didn't look reassuring. He also took a helmet out the back of the car, which I thought he was going to give to me, but he just threw it in the back of the pickup truck and said, oh, you won't need this. You'll be dead anyway. And I was like, oh, I've made a great life decision with this little Curzon tour.

But then we took a tour of the city and Curzon used to be kind of like a beautiful place. beach city by the Dnipro River. But basically, it's just the river that separates Russia from, well, I guess the Russian land they've taken from Kherson. So Kherson's split across that river, and there's just Russians on the other side of the river and Ukrainians on this side. So very, very dangerous spot.

Kharkiv makes a lot of press because of the long-range missiles that hit, but Kherson's just being hit all the time. So we took this tour. We went along the river. We went to within one kilometer of the front line. So that was the closest we got. After this point, we heard artillery strike. And because you're in an armored vehicle, it sounds further away than it is.

Obviously, the sound doesn't get in. So I thought it sounded far away. We could see some smoke that actually appeared close in the distance. The guy driving us took us to a point where a large building was blocking us from, I guess, the angle at which the missile would have came from. And I thought everything was cool. I thought it must have been off in the distance.

hit very very close they sounded really loud and then i think um he's radioing to see if everything's safe if we can leave this point and then we basically race back but we i started to realize we're in danger at any point where he really sped the car up or sort of took sort of evasive movements in the car but we got out of there and i think i had someone translate it later and basically yeah he was checking to see if the roads were clear for us to leave ultimately it ended up being

Someone died and a few people were injured from that blast, which was less than half a kilometer from us. And basically they were radioing saying, end the tour, come back to the police station.
