Viggen Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Right now the interview with the kidnapped austrian girl (which was hostage for 8 years) just finished, and you can see her talk (in german obviously) for the first time.. http://iptv.orf.at/ (the cover story) She had her eyes closed allot because she is still very sensitive to light, she has the flue, so her voice is a bit deep and her nose rins hehe,(not used to all the viruses that she is exposed now) she seems amazingly strong, happy and i think her future looks promising... if you lived behind a rock and dont have a clue what i am talking about, here some info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I've heard this story long ago...but it is so sad that it takes 8 and a half years of suffering for her. But she does look very healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Viggen and I were discussing this privately, but she clearly held a defiant attitude towards her captor that helped preserve some sense of independence. Her poise and confidance is fairly remarkable given the circumstances and I hope thats a good sign that she is easily able to integrate with her family and society.

DecimusCaesar Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Strange stuff. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be held captive for that long a time, not to mention losing out on childhood/teenage years almost in its entirety.

Princeps Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 bbc has a video translation bbc.co.uk (I usually go to radio, then 'launch player' on the right of the screen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
