www.byoblu.com Telecamera nascosta alla base operativa della protezione civile a L'Aquila. Il vero numero dei morti non si può sapere. Il 90% delle abitazioni del centro storico erano affittate abusivamente. I clandestini rimasti imprigionati sotto le macerie nessuno ha convenienza a denunciarli, quindi nessuno li cerca, nessuno li piange.
