By: Kazim Raza Bhatti Pride News Italy 🇮🇹: Overwhelmed and killed by a train at 15 and 17 years old. Thus died Giulia and Alessia Pisanu, sisters of Madonna di Castenaso in the Bolognese area. They died this morning, around 6.40 am, at the Riccione station. The dynamics of the tragedy
A terrible impact, so much so that the identification came from the cell phone of one of the two. It is difficult to establish the exact dynamics of a misfortune that took place under the eyes of the passengers waiting for the train. According to the testimony of the few people present at that time of the morning, one of the two girls was stationary on the tracks while the other sat on the platform perhaps to get off, overcome the 50 centimeters of concrete that separated her from her sister and try to save her. or perhaps to help her get back up.The terror and the screams of the travelers
Neither the screams of the other travelers nor the insistent whistle of the ETR Freccia Rossa, arriving in Riccione from Pescara, helped to save them. A train that, as all train drivers know, in optimal safety conditions can reach 200 kilometers per hour. It leaves no way out. In an instant, in a single roar, the lives of Giulia and Alessia vanished and hit the fiberglass nose of the train. Rescuers immediately took off, on the spot the Polfer, the agents of the Police Headquarters, the forensics of the state police, the carabinieri of Riccione and the firefighters of Rimini. What had happened at the station shortly before
The two girls as soon as they entered the station approached the owner of the bar who was refueling the vending machines: «A girl dressed in black asked me something, she didn’t seem very lucid. She then she went away and met with a friend who was holding her boots in her hand. ”
One was Giulia, the other Alessia. The man sees them go towards the second platform where the train to Ancona was already stopped. «I started screaming, myself as well as others who were at the station. In the midst of the screams we heard the whistle of the Red Arrow train passing on the first track. Then a big blow and we all started screaming », he says still shocked. The warned family members arrived for recognition.
It was not easy for Polfer agents to trace the identity of the two girls. The only clue is an extremely damaged cell phone made out to a moving company in Castenaso. Through the company, the father of the two girls was then traced and this afternoon recognized the few remains of their daughters. For hours he spent time in the offices of the Rimini Polfer in order to reconstruct in detail the last moments of his daughters’ life. With the help of the cameras it was possible to see the girls enter the station, but not the moment of impact.The story of the witnesses
The reconstruction of the moments immediately preceding the impact was made only thanks to the testimonies of the people present. The two sisters had not gone unnoticed, for the gestures and for the walk. Almost all the witnesses described them as tired and exhausted perhaps after an evening spent awake. Like many kids they had taken the train to Riccione with the intention of returning home in the morning after dancing maybe all night.The condolences of the mayor of Riccione
«On behalf of the whole community of Riccione I express deep sorrow for what happened this morning in our station and condolences for the families affected by this terrible tragedy. In this moment of pain towards the families of these two young women, we are close to the Forces of the Order who are working to shed light on what happened “, wrote the mayor of Riccione Daniela Angelini in a note.
