of great happiness. Instead it ended in tragedy. The children were receiving their certificates when the 
tornado hit the village without any warning. The walls of the school building fell in while most of the parents 
were watching the ceremony. Tons of concrete were sent crashing down on them. Other parents were 
preparing a huge meal in the school kitchen at the time of the disaster. Afterwards no building in Saragossa 
remained standing. Out of the population of 185, at least 25 were dead and a further 112 were injured. “The
