At midnight, shortly after the first earthquake shook the Durres area around 2:47 p.m., the young Eviola Brioshka (who was known as Evi Kardashi) was on a live Instagram video, as you can see below, heard to tell a friend that "yes, he felt the earthquake."
The evening of November 26, she found Evin at the MiraMare hotel building in Durres - one of the hotels that was completely destroyed. Unfortunately, it remained beneath the rubble of the building, after the aftershocks of the second and most powerful earthquake (3:54, 6.4 pm). Following the intervention, the search and rescue team reported that Brioshka had died.
Born and raised in the village of Deshiran in Elbasan, Evi worked as a dancer at Club Bisous in Durres.
