Hatayspor’s Cameroonian midfielder, Kévin Soni has finally explained how he survived the earthquake in Turkey.
His post below:
“I am a Muslim and I am very religious. What saved me was that I wanted to wait until 6:40 a.m. to say the first prayer of the day. That’s why I didn’t sleep. So I tell myself that if I had slept, seeing how everything fell in the house, I would certainly have died. The stones that fell were huge. It was a seventeen-story building, so if I had slept, I think I would have died”.
“I was sitting down with my cousins and we were playing PlayStation. Around 4 or 5 a.m., the ground began to shake. At the time, I told my cousins to calm down. It was when the ceiling and walls started falling on us that we started fleeing by the stairs.
“We just had time to take our passports and phones, and had the chance to get out of the building before everything collapsed. At first I wanted to jump from the seventh floor, but I told myself I was going to break my foot and not play again, so I took the stairs and ran.”
