While returning from the party, the young man sees a ‘crooked’ building and saves his neighbors from collapsing.

(12) The 22-year-old, returning from a party early on Saturday, saved the lives of the neighbors when he realized that the building he was sitting in was crooked and cracked.

Student Thibault Lemay told local media that when he got home he saw the building “moving”. Still, she tried to break into her own apartment.

“I couldn’t open the door and I heard the sound of falling rubble,” Lemay told French channel BFM TV.

Upon realizing that there was a problem in the 4-storey building, he called the fire department and started to evacuate the building by pulling the isolation cord.

Still at dawn, firefighters knocked on all the doors to get the residents out. The number of people rescued has not been disclosed so far, but some were reluctant to leave the area.

“I wasn’t sleeping yet when they knocked on my door, but I thought the partygoers were playing. When the police arrived, I realized that something serious was going on,” said Benjamin Lopard, 35, a resident of the neighborhood. channel. He left home at 5:30 am with only documents, changing clothes and a computer.

The construction in question collapsed at 9:15 am, when most residents had already left the area.

A man was pulled from the rubble with minor injuries, and a 45-year-old was killed.

Although one death was recorded, the country’s authorities acknowledged that the 22-year-old neighbor had saved the lives of many.

“I’m still shaking because if this man hadn’t come home at 3am and contacted us maybe we wouldn’t have gotten this backlash and there would have been more deaths,” said Lille Mayor Martine Aubry.

The country’s Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, also acknowledged the role of the student in the publication on social networks. “I would like to thank Lille Municipality and emergency services for their quick and professional interventions. I also thank our student for the early warning.”

While the reasons for the collapse continue to be investigated, an investigation was started without any problems in the buildings on the construction side.
