00:04The 13th of November of 1985,
00:0726 years ago, Armero,
00:10the one of the most prosperous populations
00:12of Tolima,

00:17it was arrasated
00:18and of its 29.000 inhabitants

00:2640 colleges
00:27and this beautiful park
00:29called Los Fundadores
00:30that was recorded two months
00:32before the disaster.
00:34I remember that in that park
00:36there were a bank of granitos
00:38and I remember seeing
00:40what my dad had,
00:42because my dad was a comerciante
00:43and had a bank of those
00:45with his name,
00:47Miguel Gutiérrez Zárate.
00:48But of that village
00:49only a camposanto
00:51at this time
00:52asisten to a religious ceremony
00:54with ofrendas florals
00:56hundreds of survivors
00:57and relatives
00:58of the victims
00:59of that fatídico day

01:13Many of the victims
01:14would have been able to save,
01:16but the resources
01:16were not prepared
01:18and the warnings
01:20of the beginning
01:21of the activity
