2012 Burgas bus bombing
When the 2012 Burgas bus bombing occurred in her home town, Krumova rushed in jeans and sandals to the hospital where the injured were being treated, and stayed there during the entire night alongside the Israeli aid teams. She assisted in translations for the aid teams and in communicating with the injured, since many of the hospital staff did not speak English. Professor Gabi Barbash, head of the Israeli rescue mission, said, "Without her, we would have been deaf and dumb." [3]
