Andreas Zeck has lived in Mallorca for 28 years, but the German photographer with Styrian roots has never experienced such a devastating collapse drama. He describes to the “Krone” how police officers crack down on spectators looking for survivors.
As reported, the Medusa Beach Club on the Ballermann party mile collapsed (see video above). Three women and a man were killed and another sixteen people were injured, some seriously. The fatalities are two German women, a Spanish woman and a man from Senegal.
“I was on the scene shortly after the collapse,” Zeck described in an interview with “Krone” – and continued: “It looked like a horror movie. Many onlookers gathered, but police acted to stop the chatter of voices as emergency services continued to search for survivors in the rubble with knocking signals. There was an eerie silence.”
No Austrians among the injured holidaymakers
The day after the collapse drama, not far from the well-known bars Mega-Park and Ballermann 6, the clean-up work was in full swing. Zeck: “The accident site was cordoned off over a large area and many tourists came by wanting to take a photo.”
According to the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are no Austrians among the injured holidaymakers. The responsible embassy in Madrid is in constant contact with the local authorities in Mallorca.
