[Music] in 2011 during just one afternoon and as Brevik embarked on a murderous rampage that would send shockwaves around the globe we all have this sensation that an act of war was really taking place as the clock ticked the body count rose we had no idea there was 15 people shooting one person shooting death toll was just rising all the time now I was convinced I was dead and with it the question why had Brevik waged a three and a half hour war on his own innocent countrymen it's like trying to understand Ted Bundy or other Hitler and committed history's deadliest killing spree who did this who is behind this where did the hatred come from [Music] the 22nd of July 2011 Norway a Scandinavian country admired for its landscape high living standards and for having one of the lowest murder rates in the world in the capital city of Oslo the day had begun like any other 22nd of July it's in the middle of the main holiday in Norway and of course the weather was pretty bad as it always is but it's still summer so most of the people were actually at holiday pretty normal summer's day Norway actually we were in the office and it was quite a busy Friday we were all looking forward to the weekend at 3:18 p. m. a white van is captured on CCTV parking next to Norway's government headquarters its driver is 32 year old anders breivik and cameras record him leaving the scene armed and dressed in police style uniform minutes later at 3:26 p.
m. the country will be changed forever as the world's worst killing spree began although our madam marceline or her doula at full sump didn't I have been told on the conveyor to die somehow the Sutton and they're worried I heard the one with a special snack a tongue drawn Yocum ring stud a local shop owner would feel the ferocity of the explosion firsthand I remember just being in the office and suddenly there was just like a pressure wave big pressure wave that just kind of felt like I just blew through the whole building there was debris and dust everywhere in the air I thought the building would come down as well local businessman yo Anton Berg would be one of the first on the scene to witness the unfolding fallout when the bomb exploded I was underneath this building here in my car driving actually I was on my way home I had to lay down on the floor in my car I thought the ceiling was coming down I was scared it was a big air pressure through the tunnel my car stopped actually I started it again and I drove out on the tunnel immediately when I got out from the tunnel I saw this disaster that had the rocky road outside I started to film maybe eight seconds after that last tour the bomb went off the massive deadly blast killing eight transformed Oslo from tranquil to terrifying [Music] I thought it was a truck that run it run into the building or an earthquake everybody around me just froze right they didn't know what to do and I just ran out to see what was going off and then I when I go to the door the the second I got out isogloss falling down from the sky so I couldn't run out I saw people on the street people were laying on the street it was very quiet I can remember it was totally silent only thing I can hear was the alarm inside the buildings the fire alarms with authorities beginning to arrive the scale of the task facing them quickly became apparent a calm in there inaudible nominated explosion water for chop massager ohm resister throw exposome the verdict far from mere there was there was to read like it's supposed to avoid the heart Scott you're not the blast you could hear it all over Oslo up to 70 80 kilometers away from from this spot we could people could hear the bomb went off we could feel it even where I was living so I went outside and I looked toward the center of the town and there was smoke coming up where government buildings are first thing I thought was Norway was under attack one building I went in to help some people out one building was so damaged so I I couldn't go into it I was afraid it all down it was a vacation it was the summer afternoon most of the people were not at work thank God so most of the offices were empty the doors the walls everything was smashed in so we couldn't see that it has been an office people were really scared in town for more bumps or for who who did it the white van parked outside the government buildings had been packed with almost a ton of fertilizer based explosives its detonation had left 8 dead at more than 80 injured we all have the sensation of that an act of war was really you know taking place and we were wondering who did this who is behind this where did the hatred come from at 3:26 p. m.
at the 22nd of July 2011 Norway's capital city of Oslo had been devastated by a massive car bomb it was a day that Anders Breivik had been preparing for for months and the bombing was merely the beginning of his killing spree the 13th of February 1979 Oslo and as Brevik is born to a diplomat and a nurse his childhood was marked by the divorce of his parents and worrying behavior that would draw the attention of the authorities at a very young age he was under observation by child psychiatrist when he was at the age of three three or four years old and they all gave him a quite serious diagnosis that that that he was already different psychiatric setters and and the normal kids at the age of four previck was assessed by psychologists because they became quite concerned about the home life his mother was bringing him up in they thought that he'd been sexualized in some way and that his mother was projecting her own ideas onto him that weren't appropriate for a four-year-old boy the family unit would quickly begin to dissolve leaving Anders in the care of his increasingly unstable mother and isolated from his father I think but I've expire is is present mostly in the form of his absence you know he was he was not there for Blake he certainly didn't have much of a family to live with I would say he was of a neurotic background he was an individual who was prone to outbursts or dramatic scenes and shows of largesse as the dust began to settle in oslo city centre the investigation had begun into who could be behind the atrocity if he can mung emailing it or bomb-building in the nyan standard to come in Magni mailing it on express owner or the c'mon emailing it or Mustaine clippers on it some motorcycle suit actually fall about nine eleven something like

Oslo Aquino dia reconcile Vicki Scandinavia Oslo and Dori was completely unprepared for something like this and very much taken with their pants down one of the interesting things about Brevik spree of course is that he bought himself extra time for a while the police are only taking calls about the bombing and nothing else divide lead if a muscle or four yang tidak foster yet their own so right

small formative at the worsening had in the properties but the culprit was already one step ahead of the authorities and what he had planned next would dwarf the carnage in the city and shocked the entire world Divac was driving out of town when the when his bomb exploded I think he enjoyed the deception he was absolutely relishing the artistry of what he was doing he was driving for about 40 minutes until he came to the nearby lake of T refuel with confusion and tensions mounting across the country Brevik would begin to execute the second stage of his plan the island of utøya was hosting a summer camp of young Labour Party activists and Brevik was headed straight for them and they parked his car on the ferry crossings over Tuesday and he presented himself as a security police officers there to instruct them about security measures that needed to be taken in light of the the explosion that it just happened in Oslo and they sent the ferry over to collect him what would come next would be an act so sinister it would strip a generation of its innocence [Music] located 50 minutes outside of Oslo the picturesque island of ooo Toya is famed for its outstanding natural beauty Luther is actually like a whole Norway just placed within a couple of thousand square feet playing host to the annual summer camp for the youth division of the Labour Party utøya seemed a perfectly formed paradise from air it looks like a heart just dropped into the ocean every year we've been using the island for a big summer camp where we gather maybe 700 youth one one weekend in July I cannot explain it at any other word that perfect summer camp but this island idol would soon be transformed into a nightmarish vision of violence by Anders Breivik people were playing football volleyball everything was just normal perfect suddenly the one who was running the island we called her mother beauty comes in with a look on her face that I've never seen before on anyone and she said something has exploded out in Oslo of course you were shocked but and we saw pictures and it was like seeing like scenes from a city in war it was like someone switch to light off and took the breath out of everybody's lungs it was no joy anymore I remember walking up here and my mother called me she was worried something happened to me and I said no nothing happened I'm all nude there I wasn't in Oslo and she should be just calm because I'm probably at the safest place on the in Norway right now no one could have imagined that the man behind the bombing in Oslo at his sights set on the island of the toya and his brave exposition as an outsider had been defined at an early age we grew up in a very affluent part of town but he had a single mother and an address which was not kind of on par with with his classmates and I think he felt rejected aged just 14 he had sought acceptance by joining a nationalist gang but his natural demeanour set him apart from the other gang members as I remember meeting this guy is probably on a party I can kind of see him to sitting there watching trying to figure out how to blend in however there was one aspect of youth culture that predict did excel at one which demonstrated his ability to prepare and execute a plan in extreme detail he would also try to establish you know a reputation as a graffiti artist so he he was apparently according to you know people in him at a time planning his you know graffiti raids like a general extremely good with the logistics getting the number of cans and planning his missions he was definitely searching to get some recognition be someone as it happened all the time with him he worked very hard for recognition but he ended up being rejected by also by these people previck has certainly made reference to being isolated when he was younger and in his teens but he's also showed adept skills at belonging when he needed to so although he postures himself as being the outsiders outsider as a narcissist he's also very capable of working on the inside when he needs to such capabilities would prove crucial in carrying out the second stage of a killing spree that has already seen eight dead no Visayan

the island of vous Toa disguised as a police officer and claiming an obligation to keep your Toya's inhabitants safe from harm Brevik was welcomed they sent the ferry over to collection and they carried his big suitcase with his ammunition at 5:21 the first shots were fired beginning what would be over an hour of unimaginable horror the first thing he did was to go and ask for the guardsmen of the island to come with him and the woman who was the head of the camp and then he drew his pistol and he shot them both in the head I could see people running and I'm shooting and I could see three people fall just right here at 5:23 Anders Breivik approached the cafeteria a building busy with youngsters I wearing the cafeteria and then I saw very many people work that were running outside and I called them because there were no reason to run like they were doing and one of them told me that's a guy were shooting them and I both took it serious because he had a very stressed voice but also I thought it was a joke I thought maybe this one was an act I thought this day has been already so absurd it couldn't get any worse I run outside of the building and then they were all already and some people that were lying outside that were killed and then what that was the moment that I understood that this was for real as confusion spread amongst the campus Brevik maintained a menacing calm his singular purpose the intention to kill there was this girl approaching him from a distance looked like a policeman and this man walked normally with a normal speed towards this girl and this girl was just walking normally towards him he pulls up his gun that he held in his hand down by his taies he points it up at this girl she stops and slowly started working backwards he continues with the same speed towards her and a series of rounds goes off and he shoots her down into the ground there were around 500 young people gathered around the cafeteria and the campsite it was like nothing not even a single leaf or straw grass moved everything just stood completely still and at the same time that girl hit the ground it seemed like the ground just lifted itself up and started running away and that was all the people running at 5:31 Brevik began working his way through the campsite towards the woods between the strings and the tent and the things lying around chairs it was like an obstacle course this was the obstacle course where if you fall you would die actually the gunman had already shot and killed 21 as he made his way through the woods towards the southern tip of the island he would take 15 more lives I just run and then I came today to the sea so there were no place to to run anymore and then I just hide in the in the grass we could hear the trees crunching from the bullets that were fired away you can also see bullet holes we heard just a lot of shooting and so at the time we heard shooting it was of course terrible because we knew what was happening even though I never prepared for this and never prepared for running for my life or being attacked like this it's also quite impressed in how the body reacts and the only thing the mind is set on is to survive before you even start to think about something your body and your mind has already done it before you realize you have to run you're already there before you start to think swim you are already in the water rumors of the atrocities unfolding on new Toya began to circulate across Norway journalist Marius Anderson would be dispatched in a helicopter to investigate when we approach do tell the weather was really really bad it's raining from kind of all directions and you have to go in pretty low like as slow as possible without breaking any any laws and I just told my pilot to start circling the island I need an overview I need overview pictures I need to understand what's going on because I had no idea for many on the island the only option was to swim for their lives leaving my cell phone behind and my wallets in my pocket so I could be under the FIDE we started swimming I started seeing people in the water and the strange thing about your mind is that you don't expect people to be swimming away from an island like like scared this was a summer camp in my head and my head told me oh they're taking a swim and it takes like a second and you're know they're not swimming they're not bathing they're swimming away from the island I couldn't breathe so after 50 maybe 100 meter I turned back I realized this was going to be too far and I also realized that I was probably going to drown at that time we started to realize that this is a process that goes over time because it doesn't really add up your head doesn't really want to want to believe it you think okay it's reported shooting it might be someone playing with fireworks on one side of the scale and on the other side of the scale um it might be a mass murderer but that's highly unlikely I remember water level was probably around my hip hip or ties somewhere standing coffee there was no one around me so I talked talked that there was and suddenly the same man that I saw earlier comes out of the woods just right next to me eight maybe ten meters away and started screaming that that I'm going to kill you then you must all die today at 3:26 p.
m. on the 22nd of July 2011 the Norwegian capital of Oslo was devastated by a massive car bomb eight would die and more than 80 would be injured nearly two hours later a new horror had begun 25 miles away when a gunman began running amuck on utøya a small island packed with young people attending a left-wing Labour Party camp journalist Marius Anderson was in a helicopter above the island but was as confused as the people on the ground at that point we had no idea if there was 15 people shooting one person shooting we didn't know that there was one guy dressed as a cop but I remember I saw a big tall character which I but then thought okay that might be police the gunman dressed as a police officer was 32 year old Anders Breivik and he had already taken the lives of 36 people on the island at 5:40 p. m.
he began shooting at the youngsters in the water he started shooting into the water after the people that was swimming and when you saw the columns of water that were rising from the bullets you realized this is happening for real and after he finished shooting he turned around towards me and aims at me you could see into the barrel I don't know why I screamed but I did but I screamed that no don't shoot me in the blink of an eye he pulls down his rifle turns around and walks away later Brevik would claim that he hadn't shot adrienne at that moment because he looked right-wing in appearance when he was 27 years old Brevik had left his shared flat and began detaching himself from the world he moved into his mother's apartment and began immersing himself in a world of online gaming and extremist internet sites he was isolated living with his mother staying mostly in his room playing computer games almost incessantly visiting extremist websites he also started to behave rather oddly he would be sometimes very angry with his mother and when she was ill he would use a face mask to avoid contamination somehow and he would go around in the apartment dressed up in some of these uniforms that he purchased it was really props for this character he was building for himself friends would notice a change in the anti-islamist describing him as increasingly withdrawn and reclusive many spree killers have undergone a period of social withdrawal and social isolation in the few months before they actually engage in their lethal attack it could be that while Brevik was in his period of isolation he began focusing more and more on his spree as the only solution but it could also have been a very canny way for him to go off the grid years later he would turn his violent video gaming into reality 6:08 p. m. the 22nd of July Victoria Island and as Brevik had already taken the lives of 49 people with police occupied by events in Oslo local residents took to the water in boats in a bid to begin a relief effort plucking those that are chosen to swim to safety from the freezing lake one of those residents was local hotel worker Viggo Larsen I thought I'd come out empty the water tank guys some circuit errant they are all listening it being online mussels there and their shelter leaking off really wanna see I am screed sake Mulder then cement office through the what they wrote him and they were all men seek his own law for more than he shown order the local police dispatched officers to the island Norway's specialist counterterrorism unit Delta Force would also be called into action I called the police several times and and they said it they were on the rabbit it took more than one hours so we were completely helpless at around 6:10 p.
m. a large group of youngsters were at the pump house when a police officer arrived and informed them that the culprit had been caught as they gathered together he opened fire it was Brevik and 14 would die at that moment the really striking aspect about the massacre on it is how calm Breivik was how methodical he was and how careful he was one of the common mistakes that journalists and media reports make particularly in the immediate aftermath of a spree is they believe that the killer was crazed deranged and shooting victims at random we certainly see time and time again in spree killers that they are focused and calm and very much in control of both their emotions and the situation for Adrian and those still trapped on the island the terror would continue I was there all along I thought maybe lightning wouldn't hit the same place two times but it did and then suddenly a group of people arrived you can hear someone whispering he's coming by 6:30 p. m.
Brevik had circled the island and returned to the southern tip where he began shooting again the moment was captured from the circling helicopter and the first shot was so loud before I even broke my eyes I felt something warm next to my head it felt like my head exploded now I was convinced I was dead Adrien had been wounded in the shoulder five of those around him would die from what I know the last bullet that was fired on here was the bullet that hit me in the shoulder and still is there he was captured one minute and 20 seconds after the last shot after an hour and nine minutes of unchecked bloodshed Delta Force would arrive on the shores of Victoria to face down and as predict the last thing that we were actually able to see was the police walking like in tactical formations like terrorists like terror cops do and checking out stuff then the man responsible for a massacre would surrender without a fight Brevik spree was certainly different from many other sprees that have gone before it predominantly spree killers either kill themselves or they are killed by law enforcement clearly Brevik wanted to be taken alive so he could give his ideological views a platform [Music] although the violence may have been over for those survivors left on a toya the trauma would continue I was rescued by the police and they took me away and I was taken by a private boat but when we came to the hotel where everybody was gathered old also survived I immediately understood that the numbers of the killed will be extremely high I'd like to say anything happened so fast but actually didn't it happened very slowly seemed like we're trapped here forever and some part of me probably still is in one afternoon Anders Breivik had claimed the lives of 77 of his countrymen 8 in Oslo and 69 on utøya Island he claimed to have committed the massacre as a political act several months prior to the attacks the reclusive right-winger had moved from his mother's oslo flat to an isolated farm two hours north all the while he kept a diary of his preparations these would form a significant part of a large manifesto one that he intended to publish he played a very savvy game of taking lots of media-friendly pictures of himself posturing with guns posturing in uniforms looking very Aryan on some occasions showing his blue eyes he's blond hair he saw himself as being suitable for breeding almost like a stud for future generations of the Aryan race so he's clearly a very narcissistic individual who knows how to sell the image of what he was trying to pass on under the guise of becoming a vegetable farmer Brevik would use his seclusion to his advantage gathering ammunition and planning his attack this is when he researched and planned and got there with all of his equipment and started manufacturing his bomber on the 21st of July 2011 the day before his killing spree Brevik completed a final recce in oslo city centre before returning to the farm one last time he was picked up a train station by taxi driver pero tengan I meet Brevik in the train station and he stand there won't Texas or ask him if I may be driving mom sits farm is about 12 kilometers from Rihanna centrum big farms with a lot of space he had a place and to do what he was going to do Brevik is claimed that he spent 11 months preparing for his spree and bomb attacks he clearly knew what he was doing and he knew the best way to go about it he could effectively disappear while he ordered the parts and stockpile the weapons and bomb-making equipment that he would need after driving home he went out to the car and he just stand in the middle of the court darkness but I let him out just standing there with his briefcase I think he why don't you go in or do something but he just Tyler so I took my time just to see well never been down to the forum before he had no intention to go inside the house because he was in a hurry brevet could wait for the taxi to leave before driving back to Oslo at 2:09 p. m.
