Leo at Storm - Dordrecht - Holland - 27 October 2002
Already
a few days before there was a big storm predicted
for Sunday 27 October 2002.
After
the first alarming messages of trees falling down
I heard that a 20 metres high stage
on the Sarisgang in Dordrecht was going to fall down.
In the
centre of Dordrecht a lot of shops are renovated
after the upgrade of the Statenplein by Multi Vastgoed.
The police and Detasec Security evacuated
the surrounding shops and houses.
We just had to wait till it happend...
Above you can see the photos Etienne Busink made just after each other...

You can
see me hiding behind a police car with my mobile phone
talking to the studio in Rotterdam and waiting to go
live.
Only 1
minute after the stage fell down I had to go live,
pity I could not go live 1 minute earlier.
All the listeners would have heard the crash.
Now they
only heard it in the studio.
"It sounded like someone flushing the toilet",
a technician said...
From the other side of the street people where looking at it:
I made
live reports for the news programs
about this regional news on Radio Rijnmond.
