Rina Cesana, 55, and her family narrowly escaped the recent Bondi Beach terror attack due to a brief delay in the parking lot. They had just parked near the location where the attacker was waiting, and as they began walking toward a nearby celebration, Cesana heard popping sounds. Initially, she dismissed the noises, thinking they were fireworks, given the festive atmosphere and frequent events in the area. The family's slight delay ultimately kept them out of harm's way during the attack.
