Victim: 'All day gas air in pledge'

antwerp - A man who left the collapsed building at the Paardenmarkt in Antwerp on Monday evening had already smelled gas all day long. 'But the landlord wanted no more police in the house.'

'There has been a smell of gas since 8 o'clock in the morning,' says the excited Nadil to Joe, a Flemish radio station. 'There have been several times police or fire brigade in the house and the landlord did not want that anymore. As residents we discussed what we had to do and tried to call him several times, but he was unreachable. He is on holiday in Egypt. '
