Carmen Amoraga

From the heart of the tragedy, a harrowing, illuminating, and necessary account.

What happened on October 29, 2024, in Valencia?
This book brings order to chaos with a chronological narrative of every minute of that Tuesday — as well as the days leading up to it and the eight months that followed. Told from the very scene of the events, Carmen Amoraga and Maxi Roldán, both witnesses and victims of the catastrophe, offer a detailed and rigorous account of how the day unfolded and how the tragedy gradually came to light.

Personal and anonymous stories are interwoven with a chronicle of the Valencian institutions’ ineffectiveness, while also celebrating the volunteers and anonymous heroes — now named, each with their own story and personal tragedy.
