In the aftermath of the mass shooting in Prague in the Czech Republic, many of the eyewitnesses to the attack have told the Â鶹Éç that they never thought that something like that could happen in their city. Dr David Vichnar, a senior lecturer in the English department of Charles University, is one of them. He was alone in a lift that suddenly went out of power in the same building where the shooting had happened. Newshour's James Menendez asked Dr Vichnar of his unusual story of escaping a mass shooting.
