Heartbreaking Testimony from Alexandros Lougos: "The Doctor Thought I Had Been Shot"

Alexandros Lougos, a survivor of a Takata airbag explosion, gave a heartbreaking account of the battle he has been fighting to restore his health for the past eight years. He described his serious injury, which doctors said resembled a gunshot wound, and the need for 18 surgeries. Lougos denounced the lack of support from the state, emphasizing that he received no phone calls or assistance. After the accident, he and his father were forced to investigate to understand what had happened, discovering that the problem with Takata airbags was known abroad, with many injuries and deaths. Furthermore, Lougos mentioned the need to consult doctors abroad for second opinions and surgeries, covering all the costs himself. He stressed that his battle is not over and that he still has a long way to go to fully restore his health. He is now working with the families of Kyriakos Oxinos and Styliani Giorgalli, giving each other strength and a voice to demand justice and prevent future accidents. His testimony is a dramatic depiction of the consequences of defective Takata airbags and the need for effective state intervention.
