A team from the UNESCO Geopark Karavanken from Carinthia and Slovenia experienced the earthquake in Marrakesh up close. The men and women became brave helpers who pulled people out of the shaking building who were frozen and panicking in the bar.
The six colleagues actually wanted to have a farewell beer after a conference: And that in the Sky Bar, from whose terrace you can view the entire old city. Before that, soothing Moroccan music plays on the streets, with crowds of people. At 11:11 p.m. the loud rumbling came. Panic broke out.
“The loud rumbling and everyone is looking at the central square, called Djemaa. With the roar, the houses also move, glasses fall, people scream and run in panic to the roof terrace, the crazy shaking continues. “This is how we experienced the first moments of the earthquake,” says Geopark Karawanken manager Gerald Hartmann, who traveled to Marrakech last week with a delegation from Carinthia and Slovenia for the UNESCO Geoparks international conference.
