Manal's Near Death Experience on the Metro

So the other night after teaching Manal and Christine English, we caught a taxi to the metro to head down to the arabic church. It was during Iftar (breaking of the fast) and so there weren't a lot of people around. This whole thing happened in a couple of seconds so I dont know if it will make sense.. But I was stepping onto the metro car when the doors starting shuting on me. Stupid me, I thought if I tried to push them open then we wouldnt have to wait for the next metro to come. They were a lot stronger then I thought and kept closing (Its not like they have sensors like in the states..) so Manal tried to help me so I could get out. And so we both stepped back to get out and we would just catch the next metro. But the door's had closed on Manal's foot. And then the metro started moving! And she had her foot in the metro and her body out. So shes trying to hop a long on one foot to catch up, and we are like screaming not knowing what to do! She pulls her foot out, but her shibshib (sandal) was still stuck in the door and she had thrown her two bags inside the metro car. So there we are standing in shock because there are horror stories of the metro dragging people to thier death. And Manal is standing without a shoe on. We burst out laughing! It was the only thing we could do! So we waited for the next metro to come hopped on it, and hoped we would be able to get some sandals from a store nearby when we got off. But illhumdilalla a girl was waiting at the next stop with Manal's bags and shibshib. We thanked her profusely and thanked God for keeping Manal safe. Manal was shaken up pretty bad about the whole thing, so pray for her if you think of it!
