Marseille Collapse Trial: Victims’ Relatives Testify About Ignored Warnings
At a recent trial concerning the tragic collapse of buildings on Rue d’Aubagne in Marseille six years ago, families of the eight victims recounted their experiences and fears leading up to the disaster. Witnesses shared heart-wrenching stories, including that of Papé, who died at his friend Simona’s apartment, and Marie, who reported alarming cracks in her building hours before it collapsed. Many tenants had raised concerns about the building’s safety, with a last desperate call to emergency services just before the incident. Relatives are demanding justice and accountability for those in charge of maintaining the properties.
