A teacher trapped with his students in the flood disaster in Spain heroically broke the glass door with a table leg to rescue children who were about to drown in the rising waters.

Daniel Burguet, the principal of an English school near Valencia, faced a sudden flood while caring for five students who had not yet been picked up by their parents on Tuesday evening. As the streets quickly turned into rivers, more than 200 people lost their lives in the area, and large areas were left under mud.

Burguet's school was in Paiporta, one of the areas most affected by the disaster, which King Felipe visited on Sunday. In the footage, Burguet is seen trying to break open the glass door next to the school in brown, rapidly flowing water up to his chest.

In an interview with the TVE news channel, he said there were two teachers in the classroom, his daughter, and three children aged between 4 and 11. When the force of the water broke the front glass of the school, the rooms began to fill with water, putting the children's lives in danger.

Burguet and other adults lifted the children onto the tables, but he was worried about the rising water. "Once all the water came in and the current stopped, I decided to open the door and see where to take the children," he said.

After breaking the glass door next to the school with a table leg, Burguet returned to the school and carried the children one by one through the water and out the door.

"All I had in my mind was to survive and save the people inside. We couldn't think of anything else. If I hadn't had the chance to break that glass, I wouldn't be able to tell this story," he said. "I don't see myself as a hero. Today, while cleaning the academy, a father came to me crying, saying he owed me his life, but no, he doesn't owe me anything."

During King Felipe's visit to Paiporta on Sunday, angry Spaniards threw mud at the king in frustration over the response to the disaster. Security guards tried to shield the king and his wife, Queen Letizia, with umbrellas as protesters shouted at them and threw mud.

As a new red rain warning was issued for Valencia, the death toll from the flood rose to 211, and with 2,000 people still missing across Spain, this number is expected to increase further. Meanwhile, a woman was reported to have been found alive after being trapped in her car for three days with her deceased mother-in-law.
