So, there was a Stonehaven mum, Julie Dickson, who went on holiday in Marmaris, Turkey with her husband John and son Conner. They were having a grand time at the Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace until things went south on the sixth night. Early morning on April 4, Julie got rudely awakened by loud banging at their hotel door.
Then, bam! People in underwear and pyjamas are sprinting through the hallway. It’s chaotic, people are scared, and there’s dense smoke everywhere. No fire alarms are ringing, and the staff can’t speak English to save their lives. The hotel’s plant room had an electrical fault, and the smoke was attacking through the air conditioning system. The family managed to escape, but Conner, a diabetic, started having a hypoglycaemia episode.
Conner’s out there in his boxers without his meds because they had to run for their lives. People were coughing, tasting smoke for days, and finding their stuff covered in soot. Julie’s been having panic attacks since they got back. The compensation offer from Jet2? A measly £90! I mean, come on!
