For a few minutes, the world paused and things seemed peaceful as this 79-year-old played 'Auld Lang Syne' on the only item seemingly left unscathed — her beloved piano. She wasn't home during the explosion in Beirut that killed at least 135 people.
Chaos would be an understatement to describe the scene at May Abboud Melki's house in Beirut on Wednesday evening. Furniture was strewn about, the walls punctured with holes, glass and debris all over the floor.
But for a few minutes, the world paused and things seemed peaceful as the 79-year-old played"Auld Lang Syne" on the only item seemingly left unscathed -- her beloved piano. Thankfully, the grandmother wasn't home during Tuesday's massive explosion that killed at least 135 people and injured 5,000. Her husband was also not home, but his store was destroyed, according to their granddaughter May-Lee Melki. Neither were injured in the blast.
