"I was sitting in my living room, which overlooks the construction site, when at a certain point I heard a noise and saw that an attic had collapsed and
I saw a cloud of dust rising
and some workers running in the direction of the collapse."
It is the story of Miriam, a resident who lives near the construction site in via Mariti in Florence, and who practically saw the collapse live.
"It was before nine o'clock," she added. "From the window I saw a broken beam where the collapse occurred. I didn't know anyone was left under the rubble. Then the ambulances, the firefighters and everyone else arrived."
"Shortly
after 8 I heard a big bang
- said another resident -. I didn't imagine such a tragedy and I feel sorry for the victims".
