PALOMARES BROKEN ARROW 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Nuclear disaster in Almería, Spain. Joaquín is a fisherman of Villaricos, he was the neighbor’s spokesman after disaster.

He remember well the first hours when neighbors quieted aircraft fire and rescued the pilots, without nuclear protection staff. “We were a long time without being able to fish and we haven’t received any aid”. From the terrace of his house, he marks the point in the sky where the accident occurred.
