09:26: An English tourist testifies
Mimi Theobald, a 25-year-old English tourist, was getting ready to have dessert on the terrace of a restaurant with friends “when the tables started to shake, the dishes started to fly, we panicked.” “Afterwards, we tried to go to our hotel to collect our luggage and passports because our flight was scheduled for tomorrow but it was impossible because our hotel is located in the medina. There were debris everywhere, it was not very safe. This is the first time that we have witnessed an earthquake. When the adrenaline wore off, we realized that we were very lucky to still be alive,” she adds.
