omayra sanchez

Omayra Sanchez was a 13-year-old victim of the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, which erupted on November 13, 1985, in Armero, Colombia causing massive lahars which killed nearly 25000. Trapped for 3 days in water, concrete, and other debris before she died, Omayra captured the attention of the media as volunteer workers told of a girl they were unable to save. Videos of her communicating with workers, smiling and making gestures to video cameras circulated around the media. Her "courage and dignity" touched Frank Fournier and many other relief workers who gathered around her to pray and be with her. After 60 hours of struggling, she succumbed to gangrene and hypothermia. Her tragic death highlighted the failure of officials to respond promptly to the threat of the volcano and also the struggle for volunteer rescue workers to save trapped victims who would otherwise be quickly saved and treated. Omayra Sanchez: "In what news program do you work" Male voice: "This is for Spanish Television [from Spain], but it runs in every news programs. Hold on and keep your spirit, you'll see how they take you out of there soon" Omayra Sanchez: "Please, I want to say some words" Male voice: "Yes, go ahead" Omayra Sanchez: "Mother, if you are listening, I think you are. Pray so I can walk and these people can help me. Mommy; daddy, brother and I love you very much. Good bye mother."
