„The tragedy is cruel. I saw the news but didn't make the connection. My father is an experienced man. He has been doing this since he was a child. Develop your hobby into a professional activity. An exceptional specialist“.
This is what he said in the studio of “This Sunday” on bTV Dilyana Doichinova, cousin of Assoc. Petar Shishkov, who died in the exploded warehouses.
„I understand they were there with his daughter Christine to prepare the dawn for Friday. This is usual. People loved him for what he did because he did it with passion. He told me about the safety levels. If there was the slightest risk to life for him or the child – would have taken measures”, Doichinova added.
„Christine helped him from time to time. He was taking her, she was proud to be part of his work. They traveled to nearby countries. I remember how excited he was when they went to Mexico. Peter and Christine were very connected. He managed to turn her on about it. Petar Shishkov is hereditary connected to the University of Mining and Geology. He is the fourth engineer Shishkov, a graduate of the university“, she also said.
„This is a father and daughter who had an amazing relationship. His whole family is very nice. His wife is a wonderful woman. This is his schoolboy crush. They have been together for 30 years. It would have been 20 years since the wedding. Great relationship. They went through life's difficulties with a sense of humor," pointed out the cousin of the dead Assoc. Shishkov.
„His wife is behaving. The shock will come after we can arrange the funeral, but they are part of the investigation. We are awaiting permission to arrange a funeral. Everyone is in shock – his mother, his sister. He is the oldest of our generation of cousins. With a huge heart. So noble. An amazing man. Everyone loved him very much. The loss is great“.
„I don't know how we got here. The state reacted quickly. Ambulances came. I want to thank the doctors in “Pirogov”, all the blood donors. It shows the humanity in us. Prof. Shishkov has a 10-year-old boy, to whom I am godmother. I'm very proud of him. It has very good mathematical thinking. Appears in Olympiads. The child needs to develop this talent, Doichinova also said.
