So the family stayed another night. This is what emerges from the testimonies collected from the guests of the Verde Mare campsite in Marina di Massa, in particular from a family of campers near the tents. At the campsite, there was a very strong first storm on the afternoon of Saturday, August 29, a fact that would have led the Lassiri family, who arrived a week ago for a beach holiday, to postpone their return to Turin.
The whirlwind
“The whirlwind was there, it passed over my head this morning around 7, it went through the space of the Verde Mare camp, fatally hit only that camp, without causing any other damage to the other nearby camps.” This was stated by Marco Lucetti, president of Ageparc Massa Carrara, the association of campsites in the area. “I understand that at this time there are many questions to answer, about the safety of our structures, about the state of the vegetation that surrounds us, the maintenance of the trees, the communications about the meteorological alert, but this is not the time.”
The tragedy
The events occurred around 7 in the morning yesterday when a 4-meter poplar fell on the tent occupied by a family. The two girls were overwhelmed while sleeping. For the youngest, Jannat Lassiri (who would have turned 3 next November), despite the resuscitation maneuvers at the scene, there was nothing to do. The 14-year-old sister, Malak Lassiri, was initially taken to Apuane hospital for intensive care: here she lost her life due to too serious injuries. Also in the hospital were a 9-year-old brother, a 19-year-old mother’s sister, and the parents. The three minors and the three adults all slept in the same tent.
