Rescuers from a tug put a ladder so that the 21-year-old survivor can get off … He, wearing shorts, a short-sleeved T-shirt and slippers, slowly descends to escape the fiery nightmare. It is the moment of redemption.
“I live, really? Tell me, that I am alive … “are his first words.
“It’s a miracle at first, to imagine, that no one can yet understand how this man managed to get out there. “He is in shock,” said the president of the Tugboat Association.
An escort of port officials arrived at a marina in Corfu to be transported to the hospital ….
The mask could not hide his smile. He lived by a miracle as if he were a protagonist in a movie.
“I was on the deck downstairs. I stayed in the cab of the truck. I had water, but as soon as I ran out, I went and got the water from the other trucks. So, I was saved. At first, I heard voices but as soon as I came out I did not see anyone. “Neither alive nor dead,” he described.
The young man stated that he did not understand how and when the fire broke out while he was sleeping. He woke up at 7 in the morning. He was in garage 1. He could not get out as many times as he tried until today when the smoke fell and so he managed to turn the pulley of the closed door, go out and ask for help.
The Minister of Shipping, Giannis Plakiotakis, estimated that the 21-year-old probably provides information that can lead us to locate the other missing persons.
Experts explained to SKAI what could have happened and the young driver managed to get out of a garage, which according to the regulations should be locked …
“It is possible that some people were locked up somewhere and the big mystery is that air was found somewhere because all this is toxic,” said Maritime Consultant George Xiradakis.
The news of the rescue of the young driver from the burning ship made the rounds of the world.
Critical factor for survival in these conditions is oxygen ….
According to pulmonologist Panagiotis Behrakis, this man must have had a quantity of water to survive for three days. Food is not a problem because you can stand it for three weeks, but it definitely had oxygen, otherwise it could not live more than three minutes.
Rescuers are trying to gather as much information as possible from the rescued in order to locate the other missing on the ship.
