A couple affected by the collapse of the 'Estación Buenos Aires' building complex in the Parque Patricios neighborhood described the incident, which occurred in the early hours of March 3rd, as an 'Iranian missile' and lamented, 'We have lost our lives.' Fabiano Perotto and Giselle French lived in apartment 6F, sector 2, the structure affected by the collapse of the slab belonging to the underground parking lot, where several cars were left under the rubble. 'We are my wife, my son Lisandro, 26, who is a psychiatric patient, and I,' said Fabiano. When he descended with his partner, he observed the 'terrible' catastrophe, as he described it, since 'the glass shattered as if everything had broken at once': 'It looked like a truck with a trailer that fell on top. It was an explosion. The collapse seemed like an Iranian missile,' stated Fabiano, who is a translator and professor at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Giselle, a manager and Sculpture student at the National University of the Arts (UNA), remembered the day of the collapse: 'We were sleeping and we heard a loud roar.'
