Zeno escaped with minor bruises and was in a state of shock when he was rushed to the nearby Cooper hospital. He was discharged in the evening. Zeno recalled, “We were watching the procession band of the feast of St John the Baptist passing below our house. The balcony collapsed and for a few minutes I was blank and did not understand what was happening. Moments later I heard screams.
