I can’t hardly understand why people seem to pay no
attention when authorities try to make civil protection and warn citizens to
follow their advice. This behavior is being repeated once and again this winter
in the coast of Spain, where windstorm and heavy rain are causing waves up to
11 meters. A man died swept by a wave last February 28th in Ondarroa
(Basque Country)
It is disgrace enough
that ordinary citizens do not pay attention to this serious warnings, but what
is more worrying to me is that some journalist were already swept by a wave last February 6th
in Donostia (Basque Country) despite the fact that the police were there and
they have established a security cordon, whose efficiency you can judged after
watching this video.
They were luckier than the citizen from Ondarroa, since they were not in the border of the duck.

As you can see in the
video, two teams of journalists from the news agency EFE and Antena 3 TV are reached by a wave in the
Salamanca Paseo de Donostia while recording images. The camera operator from La
Sexta tv was injured after being dragged by a wave in the Cantabrian Sea, as
reported the DYA and eyewitnesses.
The victim was
recording the maritime storms that hit the Bay of Biscay when a large wave jumped
over the jetty and entered the Paseo de
Salamanca , dragging several people.
As a result of this
heavy sea, the camera operator suffered blunt force trauma to the lower back
and arm, and he ended up in Hospital.
What else do we need?
