As the world still mourns for the horrific terror attacks in Norway, a young teenaged girl speaks out on how she managed to survive the ordeal.  In her harrowing account, Ingvild Stunsrud  details how the Norweigan terrorist Anders Brevik dressed as an officer and trapped her, along with other people, in a room and proceeded to open up a round of fire.

Hiding under the bodies of the deceased, Stunsrud and 2 other people managed to survice Brevik’s terrible onslaught.  Since the shooter was targetting people who were laying on the ground, the three survivors laid lifeless and hiding under those who were already deceased, perhaps the very move that saved their lives.

At time of report, 92 people are reported dead from this tragedy.

  • I think that’s how some of the Columbine students survived. If all else fails, pretend to be dead – you’d be surprised how often it works.

  • Keep away from those 8am bar hopping sessions, love. I realize that may be the wiccan way, but it is good neither for your physical health nor for the health of the soul God gave unto you.

    It is sad about Amy though. She seemed a very troubled person.

    • No 8am bar sessions Timmay, and before you acuse something of being the Wiccan way, be sure you know what you talking about first. And yes it is very sad about Amy. Everyone was hoping she would get the help she needed eventually, unfortunately it didn’t happen that way.

      • Well, you’re in SoCal now and I would hate to see you succumb to the 6am bars, cracked coked cane, X stacy, and such.

        And, despite my technicalistically ignorant manner, you might be surprised at my phone. And, no, it is not a Steve Job’s Satan loving Iphone.

          • I thought as much. Nothing Asmodeus loves more than wiccan’s and Iphones. I was actually tricked into getting an Iphone early on, and did not like it’s closed methodology one bit. Even after my neighbor Yog unlocked and jailbroke (whatever that means) it, it still sucked (excuse my profanity Lord).

          • Hmm… How do you reconcile that statement with a potential career in acting? One where you would frequently fool others by playing a character that is not you at all? That in itself shows a lack of respect for Christ’s caring concern over you!

    Lots of sympathy for the poor Norwegians and even Amy Winehouse on this site. I applaud this: there are too many venomous, in-looking posts lately. We should spread out and discuss world issues as they affect Christians in all countries, not just the US. Comments?

    “I think that’s how some of the Columbine students survived. If all else fails, pretend to be dead – you’d be surprised how often it works.”

    Let’s go to the arithmetic chalk board. 2 survivors and 92 killed, that is a total of 94 targeted victims. So thats a little over 2% ‘success’ rate.

    The problem with your logic is, one must have some dead bodies to hide under.

    • They lowered the death toll to 76. God be praised!

        But at the time of the report and Claire’s claims of ‘success’, 92 were reported dead. While effective rates may be slightly raised or lowered, while excluding all missed targets in the calculation, I feel the confidence level for the 2% cuff estimate holds true.

        • That seems reasonable. The difference would be minor. Plus, I only read that number this morning on the Satan loving CNN, not the Christly Fox News.

        • yes but how many pretended to be dead as opposed to running or trying to swim away? At the same time though you have to lie completly motionless that includes alot shallower breathing then most are used to not that the killer would actually be paying attention for such details…. (sorry for any mistakes ive made hard to type when your neighbors are having a loud party)

    • The question, you idiot, is how many people faked their death. It’s not going to work all the time, but hey, if you’re in a room with dead people, act like you’re dead until the police show up and you’ll be fine.

  • I know that during the Holocaust, when German officers would round up the Jewish people and everyone else they were trying to massacre, oft times people hid under dead bodies. It worked at some camps/locations (hide until clear, then run before the Germans come back for the bodies to bury/dispose), but the SS soon grew wise and would reportedly shoot barrages of bullets over the dead to make sure no one survived. Just really terrible the extent of hate in some people’s heart.

    I’m really glad to hear this girl’s stories and just hope she has nothing but blessings in her life after going through an ordeal like this.

            Oh great, Jazze is back. Now we have more unbelievers to deal with.

            I guess as long as R.D. doesn’t show back up, it will be ok.

            Jazze, please try not to encourage Claire down the Satanic road again, it has taken me 3 months of marriage to almost get her on the right path, but she loves “peer pressure”.
