I was sitting in the back of the bus, at one point I saw one of my colleagues running back and he said, “Wait, wait.” At first I thought we were hitting each other on the head, but at one point we felt It is as if we fell into a hole, several tremors and the bus had gone off the side of the road. We only saw it on television, in the cinema, the bus windows were broken, “Georgiev told BNT.
Ivan Zlatinski, the manager of the Belasitsa football club, was sitting closer to the bus driver – the darkness, the windows smashed, the noise, we were waiting for the bus to stop. “
