“In fact, I was leaving for Ranco to spend a few days there. I was with the car loaded when Cristóbal called me. Palmenia, our lifelong nanny in Ranco, told him“he added.
At that moment, Cecilia Piñera Morel reported that “Magdalena is just arriving, with one of our cousins, Matías Irarrázaval. And we set out to see an accident. I was leaving to spend a few days in Ranco when I had to leave for an accident. We didn’t know what had happenedWe didn’t understand what had happened either, we didn’t know who was in the helicopter, where it had fallen, if anyone or no one had been saved. Matías drove the three hours to Ranco.”
But when they were on their way, “came the bombardment of calls, WhatsApp, confusion. Some thought that my sister Magdalena Piñera was in the helicopter and not my aunt Magdalena Piñera, la Pichita. We, in the background, remained… Until we learned that the divers had already rescued her body. “There it was like that.”

Along with that, he assured that after the helicopter trip they were going to take, Sebastián Piñera “I was going to go back to the house for lunch with my mother.
