Villaggio fire widower testifies
Hi all, wanted to share with you Louie Aban's story. He's been waiting months to share what happened to him and his wife the day of the Villaggio fire, and yesterday he finally got his chance in court:
Dangerous lightbulbs, a heartbreaking rescue attempt and more arguments over culpability were the main issues covered during today’s hearing to determine criminal responsibility for the 19 deaths caused by the Villaggio fire.
The most compelling testimony of the day was given by Louie Aban, the 32-year-old husband of Maribel Orosco, 29, an accountant at Gympanzee. According to Aban, now a single father, Orosco called him three times during the fire before she died.

reading the article gave me the shivers.
now i cant get rid of the goosebumps whenever i think of his wife telling him to "let go"
LET JUSTICE BE SERVED!
I really cant believe the Light bulb story... In by whole life time I have never seen or heard a broken light bulb or tube light that set off a fire...
Same like the towers falling perpendicular...
Gud luck Frenchie..
To think that these poor people are suffering night and day hoping for some justice, whilst those in charge are yet to be tried is saddening and frustrating indeed.
Whilst getting their dues and having any responsible parties being brought to the books will not of course forever heal their agony, at least it may bring them some closure in the matter, not to mention lift the constant burden of having to attend a numerous court headings only to be turned back with a new date for the next hearing!
I thought the aim was just to find out who they can blame and deport him, if you get my drift.
So, the fire alegedly started in the Nike shop and spread to other areas including Gympanzee.
No one should have to go through what Louie did. The lives have been lost and connot be brought back.
However, the aim now is to confirm what happened, who is to blame, recompense the victims and most importantly get closure for the victims' families.
Oh yeah, thanks a million Tinkerbell for your kind help.
My CV is with them, will see what happens.
And to think I was wanting to send my kid to Gymapnzee, I alwaz get shudders just thinking about tht.
Heart-breaking.
And life does go on, amidst all the misery. One can bear it patiently, but the loss is there. And it does take time to heal. I think the death of a loved one is one misery that cannot be fully healed ever. God grant the man and families much patience and peace.
Yes it needs more energy but do u think being negative will change something or bring her back? No...so why not to be positive instead of negative..
No one in this world can be 100% optimistic but there are few things which force u to be positive.. He has a kid...if he focus on his kid and kid's feature he can see a lot of positive things to live happy...of course few days in a year or few moments in everyday he will feel down but can recover it.
nad, thats wht i was to say, eye tearing :(
Loosing someone u love and knowing they knew they were dying is the worst feeling ever.
Don't know what comment will be good.
i dont know LLR how u can find anything positive in it ....... a woman who have dreams to see her good grow up , a man , who heard his wife saying bye , and how helpless one can be .... one someone knows ...its end .... all has been vanished in ashes ...just because .... there was no help ....
i dont think so ill be anymore positive today ....
Its very difficult but its much better than someone who has no kid I mean at least he has a kid for lifetime inspiration...there are many accidents where some lost their whole family mom dad sis bro and all..
I really feel the pain in my heart too but if we see the world there are people whose conditions are much worse this situation...I am sure thinking this way will generate a positive energy..
As per my believe I used to feel that GOD has cosmos for some reason...if I am not feeling well here my mom thousand miles away from Qatar used to feel it in her home..hence If this guy is reading this thread I request him to be happy for his wife as if he is happy here and take care of his kid his wife surely be happy in the other world.
Yes, I agree with you Tinkerbell, the wound may heal over time but the scar will remain forever.
sad and tragic indeed!
No words..
and Yes, Justice will never be served.
i dont even know ..what to say to console him...even what to say ..... n we r talking abt positivity ..... :-(
:( no words
Yup... :( Never forget this tragedy.
UKEng, they just play the blame game.. No one would ever take responsibility.. Justice will never be served..
I agree with you, but by God's infinite mercy, time and worldy distractions have a healing effect and tend to gradually lessen the pain of the bereaved.
very sad :(
his heart would be as heavy as a mountain!!
its tooo deep a wound!
Will Justice ever be served? and if so in what form?
