9:44 Kjaer:- After the bomb in Oslo, we had information meeting. Afterwards, I would be a little for myself, because I had a queasy feeling in your body. I stood right next to Cafe building when I heard the shots. I ran straight into a tent that was there. I was absolutely sure that it was serious straight away.
9:46 Kjaer:- I thought it was best to not be alone. I ran to the Troms-camp, and when I got there there were about 40 people there. Some have seen others be killed, and cry that we have to run.
9:48 Kjaer:- When we are in the forest from the tent comes the shots. My sweater gets a bullet hole, but I'm not hit. One of the girls are hit, and I drag her behind a tent. On the left side of us, I see a boy, and I realize that he's taken. I hear him breathe, but I can not touch when I shook him.
9:50 Kjaer:- I hear shots, and looking over the tent. I see nothing, but think that we have to run. We ran into the woods. We meet several others. I want to go back and rescue the boy, but we can not turn back. We were going down the cliff.

9:57 Kjaer:-Mom called me five minutes past half past five. She wondered if the camp would be canceled after what happened in Oslo. I tried to say that I had been shot. It was bad line, so I hung up and sent a message instead.
9:58 Kjaer:- I got a call from the mother to another I knew who was on the island, she wondered if her son was fine. It was a strange conversation. I sent the message to a friend that I was injured. When the helicopter arrived, we thought that we might be saved, but nothing happened.
10:02 Kjaer:- When the police came and lifted me into the boat, I saw a girl lying in the water face down.
10:03 Kjaer:- We had tried to make contact with the boats that passed by. But they did not see us. Then came more boats, and then there was a policeman who was trying to drag me into the boat. It was very painful and I screamed.
