There are also refreshable braille writers that can display text in braille for the blind to read.
The company I used to work for, National Braille Press, is developing some new technology like this now... www.nbp.org has some information. It is really interesting and a wonderful step for the blind so that information can be accessed by all.
To the OP, I am glad that you are ok. That must have been a terrifying situation and I am disheartened by the fact that there are still so many ignorant people out there. It is good to read though that this experience has not made you want to stay inside forever. There is too much life to live!
