The accident was horrible, when I knew it I didn’t know how to react, because in the world happen a lot of horrifying things but when it is so near of you, you report of that terrible is this.
This day the telephone didn’t stop of to ring, all my family and my friends of València and specially of out of València, they called for to ask how we were, we were fine. But a cousin mine went to get into this tube and then we worried, we call to the TV’s phone of help and we asked for him, after they said us that he didn’t be in the accident and in the end we achieved to localize him, he didn’t catch the tube. We hade much luck but we got a big fright.
