00:00So I was trapped with some terrible beams that could not be moved.
00:05All the right leg, the right hip, the shoulder and the right hand.
00:15And I had the left leg free, the left leg that could be moved,
00:19because above me, with some material, a shape of a dome had been formed.
00:25So I felt a little bit of air coming from one side and the other.
00:29So I knew that I could breathe.
00:33So I tried to stay calm.
00:36I told Federico that, of course, he would never answer me again.
00:41So I was sure that the poor man was no longer with me.
00:46I told him, Federico, stay calm, we have to stay still.
00:51They will come to save us, I'll let you know.
00:54And at one point, you don't know how exciting it was to hear the siren for the first time.
00:59Terrible testimony, Javi, about what happened in the collapse of Villa Gesell.
01:05Josefa is a survivor of the collapse.
01:08Josefa Bonassa, 79 years old, let's remember, was the first woman rescued.
01:14Her husband, who died, was the first body also rescued from the rubble.
01:20They were in the building, observing the hotel, or what is left of the hotel,
01:24actually there is nothing left, to the right, to the right.
01:27The building on the right is the Alfio.
01:30That's where they were living.
01:33What we are seeing there, in this image on the screen,
01:37is the moment of Josefa's rescue.
01:39She also has, in an intense and extensive talk she had
01:46with a colleague of ours from 100.9, there in Balcarce, where they live,
01:53she says that at a certain moment, when she realized what had happened,
01:59well, with the few forces she had, first she concentrated,
02:03she wanted to live, she wanted to continue living, of course,
02:07she saw that she had what she was just telling,
02:09like a kind of, that had been formed as a kind of ...
02:13Of course, exactly, like a dome, right?
02:17In the middle of all the rubble.
02:19That let her breathe a little, she had practically no light,
02:23obviously, this was in the early morning,
02:26just at 10 in the morning they rescued her.
02:28How terrible all those hours, right? For Josefa, Javier.
02:31She said she did through the Morse code, asking for help,
02:39SOS, she hit like this.
02:45She did, she hit with the bricks, yes, Morse code, as I said,
02:50she hit with the bricks and made that sound to obviously attract attention.
02:59Several hours later, after making those noises and so on,
03:04she noticed that light was coming in, light began to come in,
03:08and it is that they were removing in the place where she was, of course,
03:12they heard that sound from the outside and they were heading towards that place.
03:18How smart Josefa, because with all that fear you have to go
03:21directing them to look for you, almost without air.
03:25With patience, she said that she began to breathe,
03:29calm, she tried to calm down, she already knew that her husband had died
03:34because he did not answer and because she also saw how little she could see
03:38just how everything had fallen, that she had done yoga for a long time
03:42and that helped her, and until at a certain moment she heard a voice
03:47from someone who tells her, we are about to rescue her, stay calm.
03:52There was a brief dialogue until at a certain moment he told her,
03:57I am Mariano, I am a firefighter, we are going to rescue her, stay calm.
04:02What a relief, please.
04:04Let's see how many hours, from the collapse until they rescue her.
04:08According to the security camera of the building next to the hotel,
04:14it was 0.25, so let's calculate, 0.30 approximately, more or less,
04:19until 10 in the morning when they rescued her.
04:21We are talking about nine and a half hours, let's say ten hours, it doesn't matter.
04:25It's a lot.
04:26One hour, ten minutes, it's a lot, imagine, under the rubble.
04:29And also with death around you, in a way, with the fear that you don't know
04:34if they are going to rescue you, with all the people who no longer respond
04:37and you don't hear the screams.
04:38Let's see if we can put back Josefa's testimony,
04:41because unfortunately there are many fatal victims after this tragic collapse
04:46of this traditional Villa Gesell hotel and Josefa is a survivor.
04:51We listen to her.
04:53So I was trapped with some terrible beams that couldn't be moved,
04:58all the right leg, the right hip and the shoulder and the right hand.
05:08And I had the left leg free, the left leg, which I could move,
05:12because above me, with some material, a shape of a dome had been formed.
05:18So I felt a little air coming from one side and the other.
05:22So I knew I could breathe.
05:25So I tried to stay calm.
05:29I told Federico that of course he would never answer me again.
05:34So I was sure that the poor man was no longer with me.
05:38I talked to him and said, Federico, stay calm, we have to stay still.
05:44They are going to come to save us, I'll let you know.
05:48And at one point, you don't know how exciting it was to hear the siren for the first time.
05:53Tremendous, tremendous.
05:55Of course, I heard the siren, this was in the early morning,
05:58because the firemen were coming and everything, right?
06:00So they were coming to rescue him.
06:02And then when Mariano appears, this firefighter who rescued her.
06:06Mariano in the name of everything.
06:08Yes, yes, the whole rescue team.
06:10To get her out.
06:12Remember that when she leaves the place, something is heard.
06:16Noelia, can we put this part where she speaks?
06:20And she tells the firemen, there is a person on the first floor.
06:25She gives them directions while they are taking her to the bed.
06:28Look, what a lucid survivor.
06:32Because after so many hours trapped, with death and everything,
06:36when they are rescuing her, she is trying to help others.
06:39Help another, of course.
06:40Impressive.
06:41While they are taking her there, when they take her to the bed.
06:44At this moment she says that.
06:46She says, yes, we counted it here and we also showed it when she said,
06:50look that on the first floor there is a person too.
06:53And this is what she saw from her apartment.
06:57A building that will have to be analyzed, the alfio on one side and the other.
07:03The foundations and so on.
07:05What they see there, what is left of the hotel,
07:09well, now it has been removed almost completely.
07:13It is only necessary to rescue, at least in principle, Adana De Simone.
07:19One person is missing to be rescued.
07:21In principle, yes. It is Nahuel's girlfriend.
07:24They were all together.
07:26Nahuel was with his aunt and he was with his girlfriend.
07:28Yes.
07:29There in the hotel, on the first floor, in principle.
07:32But the prosecutor, Zamboni, what he has ordered
07:37is that until the last casket, the last stone of the place is removed,
07:43the place is not closed, the search tasks are followed
07:47because of the doubts that there is someone among the rubble.
07:51That it is not registered or that it is claimed by someone.
07:55Of course.
07:56It is good what that prosecutor does, Javi,
07:58because just as the work was clandestine in the hotel,
08:01we do not know exactly how many people there were.
08:04As is.
08:05One boasts and those who are looking boast of the testimonies of the relatives
08:10who go and claim for someone missing.
08:12Exactly.
08:13But there may be someone else among the rubble.
08:15And there may be someone.
08:16So far it is believed that it is only this young woman, this girl,
08:20who was Nahuel's girlfriend, who was also found dead in the last days.
08:26Now, Javi, was there any talk at some point that they could
08:28demolish the Linderos buildings or is this just a rumor?
08:32I did not get that information, although there is a rumor.
08:35That is, there is a rumor that they could, but the truth is that
08:38it would have to have a very damaged structure to be able to,
08:42to have the decision to demolish it.
08:44I don't know if they did the math, no.
08:47Maybe a sector is closed as a consequence of the tasks they have to do.
08:52But demolish the building next door, which is the Alfio,
08:55and then there is another one, which is another building,
08:58which is the one on the left sector.
09:00We'll have to see if this has to be done too.
09:03I didn't hear it, except for a rumor, I heard it.
09:06But asking yesterday and talking about the structures,
09:09they never mentioned to me that maybe they had to demolish
09:12the other buildings or buildings that are next to the hotel.
09:15The hotel, remember, is almost like a curve that they make at the end.
09:18Which is the center of Villa Gesell.
09:20Of course, but there it starts from that, almost pretending to be a boat,
09:25where it has the name Dubrovnik,
09:27it ends there where the last portion of the construction is,
09:31and where you see a red building in the background, that does not belong to the hotel.
09:35Okay.
09:36There, on the side, in the same terrain, in the back,
09:39is the pool, the pool, which is on the other side of the street,
09:43on Avenue 1, where the hotel is installed, precisely the Dubrovnik.
09:48And how many detainees are there?
09:50So, seven dead caused the tragedy, right?
09:52Yes, so far there is only one detainee,
09:54who is, in this case, one of the architects,
09:57Jorge Enrique Bonavita, 55 years old,
10:01who was also a volunteer firefighter,
10:03he was for 17 years,
10:05he is under arrest,
10:07accused, but imprisoned,
10:10Celso Paco Pérez, Sergio Paco Laura,
10:13father and son, Miguel Choque Gullani,
10:15Diego González, who was also a volunteer firefighter,
10:20and workers who were working there in the place,
10:23and who saved their lives,
10:25two of them, at least, who were housed in the place.
10:29All of them are accused of the cause.
10:32In the case of Bonavita, he is arrested,
10:35and, obviously, the decision is expected
10:37regarding the other three architects who are syndicated in the work.
10:42Good.
10:44Well, attention, then, with this cause,
10:47because it is still missing,
10:49it is missing to find Dana,
10:51it is also missing that, removing the rubble,
10:54there is, well,
10:56maybe someone who is not looking for anyone,
10:58and that is there among the rubble.
11:00Exactly.
