From homes and streets, Myanmar citizens record spiralling bloodshed

(Reuters) - "I was lucky not to die," Min Thura Zaw posted on his Facebook page with a video that shows a soldier aiming in his direction in Myanmar's main city and the sound of a bullet's crack.

He ducked from the window and tumbled to safety on the floor of his apartment - all captured in one of the growing number of videos shot by householders using their mobile phones to record violence on the streets outside.
