Woman burned alive while crying for help (video)

A woman was burned in a fire in Ano Patisia – locked in an apartment, she screamed and asked to be saved.

Before her death, the woman managed to call her parents: “I’m burning, call for help!” A video of the fire spread on social networks – it was unlikely that one could survive in such a flame. A fire engulfed an apartment in the Athens district of Ano Patisia late on Thursday evening, December 7.

Neighbors heard the desperate screams of the trapped woman, but all they could do was call the firefighters. A user online writes: “This was last night, near the center of Athens. I saw them with my own eyes. Everyone is helpless to do anything!”

Αυτά χθες βράδυ κοντά στο κέντρο της Αθήνας.. Τα έβλεπα με τα ματάκια μου. Ανήμποροι πολλοί να κάνουμε κάτι! pic.twitter.com/o2fVn573Cu
