“The sky was filled with rocks”

Robert Fisk describes the scenes from yesterday:

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that stones cloaked the sky, but at times there were a hundred rocks soaring through the sky. They wrecked an entire army truck, smashing its sides, crushing its windows. The stones came out of side roads off Champollion Street and on Talaat Harb. The men were sweating, headbands in red, roaring their hatred. Many held white cloth to wounds. Some were carried past me, sloshing blood all over the road.

I like how he started the article by referring to ‘ “President” Hosni Mubarak ‘ (president in quotation).
