RECONSTRUCTION. A friend put on music when the entire attic of Walid (13) suddenly exploded: “My brother thought he was going to die”

A scream through and through. With second and third degree burns, eight young people were groaning in pain on the street in the Kopkapel district in Lokeren on Friday evening. Just before, a bottle of propane gas accidentally exploded in the attic room of Walid (13), where he was playing games with his friends. The boy is still in a coma. “When he was taken to the hospital, Walid thought he was going to die,” says his sister Oumaina (17).
