Disaster in Valencia: 5 shocking revelations about hidden data and fatal errors
The mystery of «Dan»: why did the Valencia government know in advance, but was silent?
October 29, 2024 — this date will forever remain a black page in history Valencia. Catastrophic floods took the lives of 228 people, leaving the ruins and thousands of broken fates. The official version read: «We did not know, we did not have enough information.» But what if I tell you that this is a lie? That the government Valencia Under the leadership of Carlos Mazon, did the accurate data on the approach of the dangerous “Dan” five days before the tragedy?
This information is not just rumors, but shocking indications under oath. Spain shuddered, learning the truth. Let’s figure out what exactly was hidden from us, and why these hidden data cost lives.
Chronicle of deception: how they hid the truth about the approaching disaster
Safety and response agency to emergency situations Valencian community (Avsre), subordinate to Generalitat Valenciana, — it would seem, the stronghold of our safety. But it was here, as it turned out, that data that could prevent a nightmare were stored. From October 24, five days before the tragedy, the technical specialist in emergency situations Eduardo V. recorded adverse atmospheric conditions. He testified in court in Qatarroch, confirming: Avsre had information. This directly refutes the statements of Carlos Mazon about ignorance.
Remember that day, October 29. The Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) issues a red warning. The Hydrographic Confederation of the Khukar monitors the level of water in real time, reporting its growth. All signs shouted about danger. But Why was there no timely warning? Why did these vital data not reach us, ordinary citizens, before the element fell?
«If the warning were sent at least half an hour earlier, you could save many lives.» — Eduardo V., Technical Specialist in Avsre emergency situations.
These words, spoken under the oath, respond with pain in the hearts. Imagine, only 30 minutes could change the fate of hundreds of people. Only half an hour Could become the difference between life and death. Why did the authorities missed this critical moment?
Telephone calls and missed opportunities: who is responsible?
According to Eduardo V., the regional authorities held telephone meetings with Aemet and CHJ. They monitored the situation. But monitoring is one thing, and the timely action is completely different. Alert on mobile phones came at 20:11. At this point, the victims were already calculated in dozens. It’s like stewing a fire when the house has already burned to the ground.
Sharp growth of calls to emergency service It began at 17:00 when the Brook Poo came out of the shores. It was an alarm that could not be ignored. The day before the flood, the municipalities were sent only to «the recommendation to monitor the condition of local watercourses.» It’s the same as saying a person standing on the edge of the cliff: “Be careful, there may be a gap there.”
| Date | Event | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| October 24 | Avsre fixes adverse atmospheric conditions | The start of collecting data on «Dana» |
| October 28 | Notification of municipalities | Recommendation to track watercourses (too soft) |
| October 29, 17:00 | Rucheo Poo leaves the shores, the growth of calls to emergency services | The first signs of an impending disaster |
| October 29, 20:11 | Sending alert to mobile phones | Too late, there are already victims |
Scandalous dismissal and hidden motives: why did the scapegoat changed the scapegoat?
In the testimony of the witness, the then adviser Salome Pradas appeared, who is now the accused in the case. Paradox: it was exempted from liability for the actions of the government. But four weeks after the flood of Pradas and Emilio Arguso were dismissed. It doesn’t look like a guilt, rather like Trying to find «scapegoats» And shift responsibility from the highest echelons of power.
The witness openly admitted: It was possible to convene a center for emergency coordination (Cecopi) For warning and preparation. But this was not done. Why? Fear of panic? Unwillingness to recognize the seriousness of the threat? Or something even more sinister? It is these issues that should be asked to those who made decisions. Our lives depended on these solutions.
