Antonio (a figurative name) died alone in Catarroga (pop. 30,142) on October 29, 2024, when 229 people died in Valencia. The ordeal of this elderly man, who suffers from a 66% disability, began at 7:30 pm. The flood of the majestic Puyo Valley turned its low vegetation into a sore hole. Suya is the last of the remote assistance service texts integrated into the case that Judge Nuria Ruiz Tubara is inquiring about. The coach opened a line of investigation in September to stop funding how 37 elderly people contacted telephone assistance provided by the General Government and the Diputación de Valencia through a company.
Such were Antonio’s last hours, according to the conversation that reached the country.
Operator: Hello, good luck. I’m Patricia, from the state’s Advanced Remote Assistance Service. I inform you that the conversation can be recorded, how can I help you?
Antonio: I have half a meter of water at home.
the: Okay, Antonio, try to stand tall. I’ll call your kids, okay?
the: like?
the: Try to stay high. Go call your family.
the: It’s just that the best can’t come by car.
the: It’s there, but I don’t understand the emergency services phone number. They are saturated. Give me a moment, Antonio.
Half an hour later, the operator informed the elderly man that his wife was about to return home. You are required to stay connected to the mobile phone. Antonio stopped talking.
Meanwhile, another worker contacts the elderly woman.
Operator: How is the situation?
Hija: You know, I call my aunt who lives on the same street (that victim), and she says the water is up to my waist. I say, aunty, will it take us some time to get to the car? If we see that we won’t be able to get there, we don’t know how we’re going to try to get there.
the: Do you know if a villa consists of two plants?
H: Villa yes. It’s three plants, which is why I call my pastor and he doesn’t bother me on the phone. If the plugs are wet and the phone does not work.
the: Vali, what are you telling me? Are you with anyone? Are you with your aunt? No?
H: No, no, no, no. He is single. I couldn’t even get there. You’re the mayor, and you live in another house.
the: Well, don’t worry. I’ll tell you that the water is up to your waistline and your movement is limited, okay? I’ll tell you.
H: So… it’s worth it, for now… we’ll go in the car, for now until whatever point we’ll be able to get to the car.
the: Nothing, call 112 (Generalitat Emergency Center) for firefighters, okay? With any Little thing We will let you know.
H: Yes please. Thank you very much.
the: to ustedes.
Last communication In the extreme Registration between the woman and the telecare operator. Another distinguished employee.
the: Hello, good night, Dejim.
H: Hi, I’m the girl, she just called me and (the phone) was charging on the other side. You just called me.
the: It’s worth it, just don’t put anything down, wait a minute. That’s when your priest called us at 7:30 p.m., and the house was flooded. So, we left the notification at 112. We returned to locate it at 20.00. ¿Vale?, but we don’t have time to contact the club again.
H: No, yes. to see. I’m talking all the time to your mate, but if you don’t know, there’s a mouse and I’ll call you back. See yo lamo al 112 y la me…
the: No no. The 112 is saturated. It has a number of… It has an optional number, okay? This is what He gave us. And then also all the calls we make.
H: Yes, priest, you don’t… you can’t control the phone.
the: We, of course, complained about the warning now at 9:30pm, and we don’t know anything else.
H: You don’t know anything, you don’t know anything, you don’t know anything.
the: node.
H: Naturally, it has reduced mobility and not…
the: Yes, yes, no. If we have people who are completely trapped on the top floor… we have people in the dirt with the house flooded, we have people who are completely struggling to move but they can’t… they’re on top of the table because they can’t get up so they can’t move, and it’s all fatal.
H: One thing, do you have consistency? Of course, I don’t know what that area is like.
the: No, no, no. That’s why the phone doesn’t stop us either. We have… There are companies that have completely cut off the lines.
H: I’ll leave you to decide. That’s why I call nearby neighbors to see you… or to tell me about your condition…
the: For example, I tried to call my family in the municipality of Becasente in Valencia, and the entire Vodafone line was down.
H: If it falls, is this true? That’s why… I mean, because I knew it, he tried to get close to me and we were stuck in… well, in La Torre (Valencia neighborhood) with all the coaches, well… floating everywhere. It was…well…it’s terrible, actually. The question is what am I calling for… No, no, no, it’s all cut off, isn’t it? To find out where…
the: Yes, yes, right. No, no, only the Silla path is inaccessible, because at the peak of Masanasa through Ikea and everywhere, the valley has gone beyond the edge.
H: It overflowed. The slope is overflowing, it’s worth it, it’s worth it.
the: Yes, the whole sea, the entire slope is clear. The A3, which runs through Torrent etc., is also closed.
H: True, they are all cut off (…) Good, don’t put anything. I imagine my father, in the worst case scenario, coming up and he’s sitting on the stairs and the sky is going up, he could go up, you know? I don’t see. Let’s hope to see that everything goes well. We are very worried.
the: Look, I understand, I understand… everyone’s the same, but we don’t… we have access to the homes that the bombers said they couldn’t reach.
H: It cannot be accessed.
the: We’re talking for seven in the afternoon.
H: Yes, it’s worth it.
the: In some places, especially in the La Ribera area. Here, in the La Horta Sud region, the whole disaster began at 7:30 p.m. Around 20.00, but in the La Ribera area it has left since this morning with flooding.
H: Since this morning. Vale, Vale, nothing. Thank you for the information.
the: nothing. If we encounter anything, we will contact you.
H: Vale, Vale, estoy pendiente, many thanks.
the: Well, good nights.
Antonio was one of the 25 deceased who left the worst siglo box in Cattaruga.
