"It has been life threatening"The situation was life-threatening, but according to Kenneth Sundström it has now turned.
- It has been life threatening, disaster. I'm all over. He is intensive but he is starting to come back. We talked to him today, it's light years from yesterday. He remembers nothing but is very shaken. He is a tough and well-trained, which is why he came back so quickly.
