I didn't know who the caller was, but believed he knew me from when I covered the Essex lorry deaths, as a lot of Vietnamese people approached me that time.

The caller wasn't one of those trapped (all of whom were women). Presumably he was their emergency contact and he called everyone he could think of who might be able to help, including this journalist.
