[HIGHLIGHTS] The black skeleton of the mousetrap that destroyed 500 lives in 50 minutes: "The state of the structure could advise its demolition"

Nine dead in Valencia fire, the most serious tragedy after the 2006 metro accident. The residential complex was already a mousetrap, with people trapped inside without any possibility of being rescued.

The question everyone is asking is how the fire could spread at such speed, since in a matter of minutes it jumped from one of the balconies to the rest of the terraces. The motor of an awning is pointed out as a possible source of the first flames. In its day the development was marketed with luxury finishes, with emphasis placed on the façade.
