La colata di fango percorse una distanza di circa 7 chilometri, distruggendo buona parte dell'abitato di Sgorigrad, e raggiunse la città di Vratza.

The Tears of Vratza

Vratza is the town located downstream of Sgorigrad which was struck by the mud flow and where many of the victims lost their lives. The Bulgarian composer Peter Petrov has dedicated his symphony “The tears of Vratza” to the disaster that devastated this city. This symphony, performed for the first time the 18th October 2006 by the Vratza Philharmonic Orchestra, has been orchestrated by the Italian musician Gianluigi Borrelli.
