UNBELIEVABLE SAD NEWS: Messi appeared at the scene of the tunnel collapse just before the tragedy? Just 15 minutes ago in Los Angeles…
Los Angeles, August 8, 2025 – 15 minutes ago:
The football world is shaken by the news that Lionel Messi – the living legend of world football – is said to have been present at the scene of the horrific tunnel collapse in downtown Los Angeles just minutes before the tragedy occurred.

From funeral to disaster
Earlier in the day, Messi suddenly appeared at the private funeral of striker Diogo Jota – a close colleague who had just passed away in a traffic accident in Portugal. The funeral was held privately with the presence of a number of football stars, in which Messi kept a quiet attitude, not answering the press.

When Jessica Alvarez opened her eyes in the intensive care unit three years ago, doctors called it nothing short of a miracle. A packed stadium had just watched her dragged under the water by a killer whale during a live performance—an attack so sudden and violent that emergency teams prepared for the worst. Against every expectation, she came back.

Her recovery was hailed worldwide as a triumph of willpower and modern medicine. News channels ran headlines like “Jessica Beats Death” and “Miracle Woman of the Sea.” The entertainment park that employed her spun the narrative into a story of resilience, selling merchandise emblazoned with the phrase “Smiled on by Life.”

But today, Jessica sits in a small, dimly lit apartment in San Diego, frail and hollow-eyed. The true miracle, she says, wasn’t her survival—it was that anyone thought her story had a happy ending at all.

Because what no one knew then was that the attack had changed her body in ways science had never seen before. She had contracted a mysterious, devastating illness—one that experts now believe was transmitted from the whale itself.

The Attack That Shocked the World

On the morning of July 17, 2022, Jessica performed the routine she had practiced thousands of times. The whale, a 6-ton male named Onyx, was meant to leap beside her, splash the crowd, and swim harmlessly away. Instead, witnesses say, he lunged toward her, seized her arm, and dragged her underwater.

For 90 terrifying seconds, the audience screamed as trainers rushed to intervene. When she was finally pulled out, limp and bleeding, paramedics fought to restart her heart. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she had technically died twice.

Surgeons stitched torn muscles, repaired shattered ribs, and stabilized her breathing. Days later, when she regained consciousness, her survival seemed destined to become a modern-day legend.

“She should not have lived,” said trauma surgeon Dr. Elias Park. “But she did. We called it a miracle. And maybe it was. But miracles sometimes come with shadows.”

The Mysterious Sickness

Within weeks of her release from the hospital, Jessica noticed changes. At first it was fatigue, which she attributed to recovery. But then came night sweats, joint pain, and sudden neurological episodes—tremors, confusion, even temporary blindness.

Doctors were baffled. Standard tests showed nothing familiar. Infections like leptospirosis or brucellosis, sometimes linked to marine mammals, came back negative. But her blood revealed something else: an entirely new pathogen.

A team from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identified it as a hybrid viral-bacterial organism that appeared to have adapted within the whale’s unique microbiome. No record existed of such an illness jumping to humans.

“It was unprecedented,” explained epidemiologist Dr. Leila Singh, who worked on the case. “It didn’t behave like anything we’d studied. It attacked her immune system, her nervous system, and even her skin. We realized Jessica was Patient Zero.”

Immediately after the funeral, sources said that Messi moved to the Clearwater project tunnel area – an underground project in the testing phase. It is unclear why he appeared here, but some witnesses eventually said they saw Messi entering the tunnel entrance area – before the communication signal was completely lost.

Messi’s family “collapsed”
Messi’s family issued a brief statement, with his wife – Antonela Roccuzzo – tearfully saying:

“We pray that this is not true. Pray that he is safe…”

A tense atmosphere covered social networks around the world. From Rosario (Argentina) to Barcelona, from Paris to Miami, millions of fans are sending prayers, sharing status lines with the hashtags: #PrayForMessi, #MessiTunnelCollapse.

Situation at the scene
Rescue teams have been urgently mobilized to the area. Police and fire forces have blocked off the entire area of the collapsed tunnel, but it is still not possible to confirm whether Messi is really trapped or not. Security cameras in the area are also being collected and analyzed.
