00:00I want to go back to her.
00:02Javier, let's go back live.
00:07Guys, you will remember Lourdes, who told us about her grandfather, her grandmother, her grandfather Gerardo, her grandmother Noemi.
00:14We have the opportunity to talk right now with Gerardo, who together with Noemi have just been reborn.
00:20Literally, Gerardo.
00:21Literally, exactly.
00:23The truth is that it was a work of God that we are alive.
00:27Because if not, I wouldn't be telling you. It was terrible, very, very ugly.
00:31The truth is that I lived that moment.
00:33What do you remember?
00:34And I remember the moment of the impact of the plane against the tree.
00:38Well, it exploded.
00:40And we ran out.
00:42We said, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:44Do you see him approaching the plane to your house?
00:47Of course.
00:48Not to my house, but to the tree.
00:51And he saved us from the tree.
00:53Because if not, I'm going straight home.
00:56The shock and the impact.
00:57The shock and the impact.
00:59There was a tremendous explosion.
01:01Of course, now we are going to show you this image.
01:03And there you tell Noemi, your wife, let's go, let's go.
01:07Of course, yes, yes, yes.
01:09This is the image I'm talking about.
01:12This is the image I'm talking about, where after hitting the tree, it explodes.
01:16That was the moment, yes.
01:18The plane.
01:19Tremendous, tremendous.
01:21What did you feel at that moment?
01:23At that moment, what I felt, well, we couldn't have told this story.
01:30Of course, you could have been with the pilot and the co-pilot.
01:35Of course, yes, yes, yes.
01:37Yes, it was tremendous.
01:39Look, let's talk to the guys.
01:41Let's see if we can put Gerardo, so we cross them.
01:45I'm going to ask you to put on these headphones.
01:47Gerardo, let's talk to the guys who are on the floor, with Pablo and others.
01:52Hello.
01:54Yes, of course.
01:56Yes, hello, how are you?
01:57How are you, how are you?
01:58Yes, how are you, how are you?
01:59Well, what a joy that within this tragedy you were able to see what was about to happen and tell your family, right?
02:06What a joy.
02:08Yes, yes, yes.
02:09It was me and my wife who were inside, in the dining room.
02:14And well, that moment was terrible, because the truth is that feeling the impact on the tree and the explosion was tremendous.
02:24How many explosions did you hear?
02:28And several, but the first one I heard was the impact of the tree.
02:33Of course.
02:34And then about something else that I have in the corner, that we always sit down to eat at noon.
02:46And well, that's when the part of the fence broke.
02:53Of course.
02:54Well, and the tree there too.
02:56Yes.
02:57Let's see, you were, let's see, let's go back to that moment.
03:02You were, you had arrived with your car, you had the front door open, your wife.
03:08Yes, I arrived.
03:09Tell me, tell me about that moment, I mean, to be able to understand it better.
03:15Well, I had just arrived about 20 minutes ago.
03:22Yes.
03:23And well, we were sitting, I was sitting in the dining room with my wife and I, in front of the window, I was at the airport.
03:35Yes.
03:36We have it back, guys, let's see if they can get it back to us in the audio, in the feedback.
03:42Yes, while he tells us. Can you tell me your name again, please?
03:47Gerardo.
03:48Gerardo.
03:49Gerardo, you know, you know that we are just on one of the screens that we are showing now, while we are talking to you,
03:55you can see perfectly how the plane drags the tree.
04:02I understand that it impacts another one.
04:04Yes.
04:05No? But you, the moment.
04:07Yes, yes, Julio.
04:08Yes.
04:09Tell me, tell me, Gerardo.
04:11Yes, the one of the other tree that impacts is the one in the corner.
04:16Sure.
04:17The one in the corner between Charlene and José Terry, which is in the corner, in my house.
04:25Can you calculate, Gerardo, at what distance was the plane of the Alhambrado when you see it coming towards you?
04:32No, I think it was already close to the Alhambrado when I see it coming.
04:38And you, you did not doubt?
04:40Close to here.
04:41Sure, yes, yes.
04:42The first and the second Alhambrado.
04:44Of the fabric.
04:45I mean.
04:46No, of the first.
04:47From here.
04:48From this one, from here, the one that is closest to the street.
04:50Exactly.
04:51Yes, the Alhambrado, the fabric that was already, the last Alhambrado.
04:56The last Alhambrado.
04:57Sure.
04:58Gerardo, I understand that it is not that you thought, no, it is landing a little further away, but that you realized at that precise moment that the plane was coming over.
05:08Yes, because a strange noise was heard and well, and that's when, after that noise, the impact on the tree.
05:19How is your wife?
05:21No, she is fine, she had a little high blood pressure and those things, she has anguish for a while, she remembers and well, but she is fine, luckily, yes.
05:32Did the doctors attend you?
05:34I say because you are also, you are also anguished, Gerardo, I see you, of course, right?
05:39This is a trauma, this, this that has happened.
05:43Yes, of course, yes, but I just got anguished, it had not happened to me before, it was seen that I had contained the anguish and well, now, now, it came out.
05:57Good, good, good.
05:58The anguish came out, the anguish came out.
05:59Yes, of course, of course.
06:00Perfect.
06:01Yes, it does not matter.
06:02It's perfect, Gerardo.
06:03Yes.
06:04Well, great.
06:05Well.
06:06We are happy that you can be here, even if what happened has happened.
06:10Gerardo, your house, you can go back, you can go back to your house, you have, you are in condition, you suffered some kind of injury?
06:17Yes, yes, only the injury that I had in the glass, because of the heat, the glass in front of Terry broke and then the gate of the fence that is on Charlene, only that.
06:35Does that break the fire, does the gate burn it?
06:39No, it seems to me that it must have been a blow, I don't know if from the propellers or what, or from the wing, of course.
06:46And then the tergopoles of the lock of the slab, which burned a little, but hey, no, we don't have a problem inside, thank God we didn't have it.
06:58Very good, very good.
06:59There is no problem of collapse, there is no problem of anything, crack, nothing.
07:02No, luckily no, thank God, no.
07:04Okay, okay.
07:05Very good.
07:06Thank you very much.
07:07Thank you, Gerardo.
07:08Thank you very much.
07:09We are still in contact with all the witnesses, with all the neighbors who have been miraculously saved by this maneuver that the pilots have done,
07:19Martín Fernández Laza, who was piloting the plane, and what we are showing you here behind is the before and after of the same place.
07:28Look, there we see some hangars, the runway is beyond.
07:33These are the wire fences that we were just talking about.
07:35There are two wire fences, a first perimeter and then the second is on the avenue.
07:41Immediately you are going to see that there is a house, a home, a family house, in front of the wire fences.
07:48There we even see in the image of Google, or even a pilot, a hairpin, which we see there, there we are seeing it.
07:56This was the place, the corner we are talking about, and the trees that were finally dragged.
08:02The image that you are seeing of our drone, we continue with the image prior to the tragedy, so that you can see.
08:12In this place, in this place that you see with this photo, this is the place where you see the cabin of the plane,
08:19the plane completely destroyed and all this white foam to prevent the fuel from spreading,
08:24which had caught fire at the time of the impact and the explosion, also with another vehicle that was dragged.
08:31There are three vehicles dragged, and this is the point, this is the point where the pilots, that's how far the plane gets, of course.
08:39On the other side, we see on the other screen, the image of the place.
08:44From above you will see this place destroyed.
08:48Apparently, in principle, there is the fence, do you see it?
08:51This same fence, look, all this place that has had some inconvenience, of course, at the structural level, at least the front part,
09:00but beyond cracks in the walls and some other minor problems, in principle, people will be able to return to their homes.
09:11This, without a doubt, has to do with a maneuver to avoid the possibility of a major tragedy.
09:18Notice that Martin Lassa practically invokes on the street this plane at more than 180 kilometers per hour.
09:27They speak, the pilots, naked, sorry, but on vacation.
09:34There could be guys playing on the street, that plastic pool that was there could also be used.
09:43It is so close where so many people live, the area is so populous, for these planes of this size, it is really dangerous,
09:51and clearly we already come with several tragedies, and this is the last one.
