I for one slept through most of the first day, including a airborne troops convoy going past my window . My parents had went to Moscow to meet a group of British youth-exchange people. The british had courage, they didn´t go back at the same flight, but decided to stay to see ´´history in making´. And they arrived couple days later to independant Estonia .
Sorry for off-topic remark.
