“T he house was sinking and I only had time to run to the roof ” avid Keary, a 60 year old British expat from Brentwood in Essex, and one of the two men rescued from the collapsed property on Wednesday morning in Spain’s Costa Blanca, on Orihuela Costa’s Laguna III urbanisation, said that as he felt the building begin to collapse under
D
his feet he only had time to run upstairs to the solarium. He said that he is so grateful to have escaped uninjured, adding that he still doesn’t believe that he could have got away with barely a scratch. Still somewhat stunned and disoriented, Keary, who has lived in Spain for 4 years, told the
press that the house, an upstairs apartment, was sinking under his feet and he could see the staircase leading to the property crumble into rubble below. He said that his automatic reaction, which quite probably saved hime from serious injury, was to run up to the top floor, which at that stage seemed only to be held by a thread.
He also said that for the past weeks he had been listening to building work being carried out by a neighbour, although he didn’t really know what work was being carried out. He is now, however, beginning to wonder if the neighbouring project could have been a contributing factor. Continued on Page 2
