Rodrigo, son of Isidoro Delclaux, remembers it like this: «That day they picked me up from school when I was at recess. The director came with a great family friend. I thought and failed to find what I could have done wrong to come … Director and they were going home. The journey home was eternal. This friend told me to cry if he wanted. But I didn’t get the crying. I only got home and see my sick mother, who could not do anything for me or my brothers. A moment of fracture, of very strong pain, of immense loss. Wounds can be cured, traumas heal. It is not easy to heal such a big failure ».
Until four years Arturo, son of Arturo Sánchez Sancho, did not want to turn his gaze on what happened that day. He acknowledges that he felt a ‘rejection’. «We hadn’t spoken at home either, perhaps, as a protection measure. We were a family of four brothers, the oldest was 17, the next 14, I 12, and the little one 4. I remember everything lived after receiving the fatal news. In January they had just ascended to my father in the insurance company where he worked, and it was his first trip in his new position. That morning before leaving came to kiss us all. He no longer returned.
The next thing he visualizes is to be at school and to look for him. Then, he recalls, «We saw nothing on TV or anywhere else. For a few days it was said that it could have been an ETA attack. It was an avalanche of sensations, having people on top, living a cloud, feeling that it was a very beast task, but we did not work the duel with anyone, ”he acknowledges. This experience «helped me to focus my life so that I don’t give importance to anything that does not deserve it. In a second you change your whole life ».
He also remembers that it was Tuesday, and that his mother, who then worked at the Bank of Spain, just wanted everything to happen and take refuge at work. «This for her was fundamental. He had four young children to move forward, transmitting us that we had to continue with maximum normality within misfortune. Being a father orphan meant for me that I was never going to come to see the football matches of the school, or take the field to see Athletic. I have missed his figure, inside I keep talking to him and this comforts me, ”acknowledges this man, a father today of three children whom he has educated in the same hard work values and resilience he has seen in his family .
Coincidences
Adelina was 11 when she lost her father, Luis del Alamo, labor lawyer for recognized prestige. “He was the older sister of three in a family full of activity, like any young family, with professional and very busy parents.” In fact, he reveals: «What are the coincidences, my mother Elizabeth, also a lawyer, had attended the day before the conference of Dr. Portuondo at the Madrid Bar Association. And the day my father flew to Bilbao, she did it a few minutes later at the boarding door adjacent to Barcelona. They did not see themselves for the last time. In fact, he learned of the news in the taxi as soon as they reach the city.
«My father’s death was a pause in time. Everything was suspended, wrapped in immense pain and disorientation of those around us. Family and friends filled the house, some arrived from afar to be with us. Even today, when I remember it, I think it’s a science fiction scene, ”recalls Adelina. For this woman, «the greatest sadness is not only the loss of my father, but the tragic destiny shared by all the people who died in that accident. Their lives, their plans and their future disappeared from one moment to another. Everything changed, and we were forced to adapt to a new and painful reality. Deeply regret that at that time, emotional well -being was not prioritized nor did the necessary accompaniment to the affected families be offered. Over time, each one has followed on their way, but the wound of such a sudden loss, and such an early age, has marked forever my way of seeing the world ».
«This forty anniversary allows me to remind my father and all the people who lost their lives with him, with love and respect for the tragic final they shared. This Wednesday we will meet some relatives at 7:00 p.m., in the parish of Our Lady of Los Angeles, by Bravo Murillo. I also want to express my solidarity with all those who have suffered tragic losses. It is a difficult path to travel, and only who has lived it knows how deep its mark is left ».
