Kelly Will, whose 23-year-old brother Daniele Polito died in the disaster, said she had moved to the US two weeks before her mum called with the news.

"She was just crying down the phone, blurting it out in such terror and torment," Ms Will told the BBC.

"I can't even express the feelings and words... to hear that feeling of absolute anguish.

"I couldn't think. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I felt nauseous and sick".
