00:00I don't know if you know, but there's a lot of people here, it's uncontrollable.
00:09My eternal respect for the firefighters, for the rescue people.
00:14Give me an alert, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:18Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:24Let's see, Gaby Properi, give me...
00:28Come on, come on, come down quickly, come on, come on.
00:30Gaby Properi is with the owner of the house. Gaby, good afternoon.
00:34Exactly, we are with Melanie, a shocking testimony, we believe, Nahuel,
00:41because Melanie and her little sister were both at home, they managed to get out by chance.
00:48And Melanie, look, is just a few days from being a mother.
00:54Just a few days from being a mother.
00:57The plane came over them, what did you feel, what did you see Melanie there?
01:01We thought we were going to die and the despair was very ugly.
01:05What hurts me the most is that I lost my daughter's things and it was so hard for me to have them.
01:10Well, my despair was her and my brother, that we were able to get the three of us out of there.
01:16If my brother didn't break the wall, we wouldn't get out.
01:19Tell me, what time was this?
01:22And it was almost one and a half.
01:24One and a half, what were you doing at that time?
01:27We were sitting, my grandmother, him and her, I say, my brother and I, the four of us, we were laughing,
01:32and we saw the plane coming from behind.
01:34How did you see the plane? Did you hear the noise? Did you look out the window?
01:38We heard the noise and we were in the courtyard, and the courtyard has bars,
01:41and we just saw through the bars that the plane was coming.
01:44Did you see that the plane was coming straight to your house?
01:48It was coming straight, and we started running to the bottom.
01:52We broke the wall and we died inside with the plane.
01:56Was the plane coming with the wheels on the street, on the floor, or was it trying to take off?
02:05It was trying to take off.
02:06We saw that the plane was coming straight, and we started running.
02:12I told my brother, run Lautaro, run.
02:16I grabbed the door and started breaking it.
02:18If I didn't break it, my brother and I wouldn't get out.
02:21And the four of us would die.
02:23Now, the plane, when it hits your house, were you in the courtyard of your house?
02:28Yes, we were right in the courtyard.
02:30Did you try to run behind the courtyard?
02:32No, we tried to run straight to the street, and the plane was right in front of the street,
02:37and we started running to the bottom of the house and we broke the door to the neighbor.
02:40When you saw that the plane stopped and that it was on fire, you went out through the neighbor's wall?
02:46We all went out through the neighbor's wall.
02:48If we didn't, we ran to the neighbor's street and we ran straight and we turned around and we came to my grandmother's house.
02:55Did you come straight here?
02:57Yes, I came straight to her house.
02:59What do you know about the neighborhood, about the neighbors? How are the houses?
03:03The only thing I know is that there were three houses next to each other.
03:07My grandmother's, my grandmother's, and my grandmother's.
03:11And is there anyone hurt? Do you know that?
03:14I know that the two pilots on the plane died.
03:17They were on fire, and there are people on the plane too.
03:20And your family and neighbors?
03:23No, none of them died.
03:25How is your grandmother?
03:26How is she?
03:28She is in the ambulance because she has very low blood pressure.
03:31She suffers a lot from high blood pressure and has diabetes.
03:34Did you go to see her? Are you about to be a mother?
03:37No, I haven't gone to see her yet.
03:39Did you call an ambulance because of the shock you experienced?
03:42Did you run out? Did you see a plane coming to your house?
03:45No, we went straight to the street and my aunt came here.
03:49My aunt called an ambulance, but she didn't let me see her.
03:51No, but she is pregnant, you should see her, my love, please.
03:56You have to see her.
03:58Yes, of course.
04:00No, imagine what it was like.
04:02We are, I repeat, it is the exclusive testimony.
04:05Impressive.
04:07From the owner of the house.
04:09Did you lose everything, Melanie?
04:11I lost everything, I lost everything.
04:13On top of that, we had just started and we already had everything.
04:16And now we lost everything again.
04:19We lost everything.
04:21And we just came to move here.
04:23Where did you come from?
04:25From Rincón de Milbar.
04:27From the other side of Panamerica?
04:29We came from there, we just moved here a month ago and we already lost everything.
04:33And it cost us a lot to get up with my husband.
04:35But the important thing is health, the important thing is to think that you have your baby, life.
04:39We don't know what to do.
04:41But you were able, you are aware that you are here by miracle.
04:45One more second that they lost, looking out the window, how the plane crashed and you didn't tell them.
04:51Yes, yes, right next to her, I saved her, I almost grabbed her propeller.
04:55And I held her hand and I took her to the bottom, the piece in the bottom and we started breaking the wall.
05:00Because if not, she wouldn't grab it, she grabbed the propeller.
05:03Do you give me permission to talk to her?
05:06Yes.
05:07What is her name?
05:08Bianca.
05:09Bianca, do you want to talk?
05:10Do you want to?
05:11Come.
05:12Come, please.
05:14Bianca was with Melanie.
05:17Bianca was with Melanie.
05:19Look at Bianca's cut, she has to go through all this.
05:25How was Bianca? What did you feel? What did you see?
05:28Nothing, I was just scared, but it was a little ugly because when she grabbed me, I mean, I went to the back and I didn't know what to do.
05:39And on top of that, I thought it was going to explode and I was going to explode inside.
05:43Poor girl.
05:44And I didn't know what to do, so I ran inside.
05:47And my sister just grabbed me like this and went back.
05:50And they started hitting the wall.
05:52And I started screaming, she hit me with a scream.
05:55And there I stopped and then we came here.
05:57Poor girl.
05:58She lives very close to the airport.
06:00Did you ever think or imagine that you could live something like this?
06:04Yes.
06:05Do you, Melanie?
06:06Yes, I do.
06:07I'm very scared and I always imagined that.
06:11When I slept, I always thought about it.
06:15Until I lived it.
06:17And it was horrible.
06:19The truth is that when the crash happened, I thought my sister and I were going to die inside.
06:26Because the smoke was choking us.
06:29How strong what she said, right? How strong.
06:31I imagine the explosion, right?
06:33It was like a bomb.
06:35And just when the explosion started, we were still inside.
06:38We were breaking all the walls.
06:41But my brother wouldn't get out of there.
06:44We were going to die directly with the smoke choking us.
06:47Tremendous.
06:48Yes, Grandpa.
06:49I love that you follow it, because the truth is that you handle it very well.
06:54But I wanted a question.
06:56Did you feel if the plane was accelerating?
07:00Let's say if the engines were accelerating or decreasing?
07:04Or if there was a previous noise?
07:05Could you detect in all this mess that you are telling me, Melanie,
07:09if the plane was accelerating, braking, if it was trying to take off?
07:14No, we couldn't detect anything because we were in the courtyard.
07:17The only thing we saw was when it came to the tip, that part that was dragging the saddle.
07:23And that's when we started running directly.
07:26We started screaming, my brother, my grandmother, her and me.
07:29I told him, run, we're going to break the back door.
07:32And we started breaking the whole back door.
07:33God forbid.
07:35Or we wouldn't get out.
07:37And at that moment when you were breaking, was the fire already on?
07:41Yes, it was already on fire directly.
07:43From the same drag, the fire was lit.
07:45Ah, of course, sorry, they break to be able to get out because they were trapped.
07:50And the explosion broke, and then we closed the door tightly, my grandmother, and we started running to the back.
07:55And that's when we were able to get out.
07:58Is the house made of wood like this one we have here, or is it made of material?
08:01Material.
08:03Two-story material, and my grandmother's is also made of material, but she has the one above and below too.
08:08Below she has the kiosk and above she has the rental house.
08:11And did the shock break it down?
08:13No, it didn't break it down.
08:15But it was completely on fire.
08:17And when the windows and doors exploded, everything inside caught fire.
08:20Of course, it burned everything.
08:22It was all made of wood.
08:24And everything inside caught fire, but the house didn't explode.
08:28The testimony is impressive to me.
08:31We have a survivor here.
08:33Yes, of course.
08:35A survivor of a terrible accident, of a tragedy.
08:39In which we have two fatal victims, but they could have been many more.
08:43From what Melanie is telling us, they had the reflexes, or they had enough reflexes to get out.
08:50I repeat, Gaby, please tell him to come and see you.
08:55To come and see, for God's sake, to come and see.
08:57We are going to stay here until an ambulance comes.
09:01Yes, without a doubt.
09:03Because besides the shock, look at the belly that Melanie has.
09:07Yes, and thank God she can see well.
09:11Gaby, there you can see from where we are there, where the plane hit.
09:18Can we get closer there?
09:20No, how far from your house are we?
09:24A block away.
09:26Can you see anything? Can you go up to a roof or something where we can see?
09:29You can go all the way around there.
