Overwhelmed and killed by a train at 15 and 17 years old
.
Thus died
Giulia and Alessia Pisanu
, sisters of Madonna di Castenaso in the Bolognese area.
They died in the morning, around 6.40, at the Riccione station: a terrible impact, so much so that the identification came from the cell phone of one of the two.
It is difficult to establish the exact dynamics
of a misfortune that took place under the eyes of the passengers waiting for the train: according to the testimony of the few people present at that hour of the morning, one of the two girls was standing on the tracks while the other sat on the platform, perhaps to go down, overcome the 50 centimeters of concrete that separated her from her sister and try to save her or perhaps to help her get back up.
Neither the screams of the other travelers nor the insistent whistle of the ETR Freccia Rossa, arriving in Riccione from Pescara, served to save them.
A train that, as all train drivers know, in optimal safety conditions can reach 200 kilometers per hour.
It leaves no way out.
In a moment
, in a single roar the lives of Giulia and Alessia vanished and hit the fiberglass nose of the train.
Rescuers immediately took off, on the spot the Polfer, the agents of the Police Headquarters, the forensics of the state police, the carabinieri of Riccione and the firefighters of Rimini.
The two girls as soon as they entered the station approached the owner of the bar who was supplying the vending machines: "A girl dressed in black asked me something, she didn't seem very lucid. Then she walked away and met with a friend who kept boots in hand ".
One was Giulia, the other Alessia.
The man sees them go towards the second platform where the train to Ancona was already stopped.
"
I started screaming, I as well as others who were at the station
.
In the midst of the screams we heard the whistle of the Red Arrow train passing on the first track.
Then a big blow and we all started screaming ", he says still upset. It was not easy for Polfer agents to trace the identity of the two girls.
The only clue is an extremely damaged cell phone registered to a moving company in Castenaso.
.
Through the company, the father of the two girls was then traced and this afternoon recognized the few remains of their daughters.
For hours he spent time in the offices of the Rimini Polfer in order to reconstruct in detail the last moments of his daughters' life.
With the help of the cameras it was possible to see the girls enter the station, but not the moment of impact.
The reconstruction of the moments immediately preceding the impact was made only thanks to the testimonies of the people present.
The two sisters had not gone unnoticed, for the gestures and for the walk.
Almost all the witnesses described them as tired and exhausted perhaps after an evening spent awake.
Like many kids they had taken the train to Riccione with the intention of returning home in the morning after dancing maybe all night.
"On behalf of the whole community of Riccione, I express deep sorrow for what happened this morning in our station and condolences for the families affected by this terrible tragedy. In this moment of pain towards the families of these two young women, we are close to the Forces of 'Order that they are working to shed light on what happened ", wrote the mayor of Riccione Daniela Angelini in a note.
