Around two hours later, the group moved to where the vertical concrete slab was located.
Madam Melita then suggested that Nas put her hands down over the front of the slab so she could grab them. A photo was taken at the moment the slab broke at 12.38pm. Madam Melita was covered by the top half of the slab and only her lower legs were exposed.
