It was a disturbing siren. Like someone is crying on ur head -- he cries & screams harder when his pain exceeds the limits of tolerance. And than his voice goes down, only sobbing is what remains -- like after that huge pain he has no strength left to cry, to scream.

I was about 100-150 meters away standing in a terrace. I was quiet -- unwantedly listening to the siren, looking at that ambulance & than looking at the traffic to see if it was possible to give the ambulance a way. YES IT was VER MUCH POSSIBLE.

There was another voice; I could hear from the same traffic, it was the music from one of the cars there. There was this other guy on a driving seat smoking, puffing the smoke as if it was the most relaxing moment of his life. I felt like; for them, the ambulance dosent exist.

I thought to go out there & try asking ppl to make the way for the ambulance; but I knew it would take 10-15 min for me to get there & the ambulance will be able to get out of this signal jam in 5-6 min, but who knows those 5 min were crucial. There was a chance to save atleast 3 min but none seemed interested (or think of it this way, atleast u would save 3 min of that annoying siren but no not even that).

After two other red lights, finally it found its way out ...
