Tablante Brache Family

While the building was beginning to collapse, Jarry, Elizabeth's husband and the father of Isabella and Valentina, had stepped out just a few minutes earlier to walk the family's dogs. Then the unimaginable happened. Right before his eyes, he watched the building where his wife and daughters were trapped collapse. Desperate, he ran toward the rubble. Elizabeth, Isabella, and Valentina had been buried under tons of concrete after falling four stories when the building came down. Without waiting for rescue crews to arrive and not knowing whether they were still alive, Jarry began digging through the debris with his bare hands.
