Military divers hoped to carry out the rescue through the so-called pit 3. Although the level of water inside was not optimal for the task, they still carried out four descents in search of the workers in which they were able to verify that there is an obstruction that makes the task impossible.
Despite this, the Mexican Army said that they will try again once the well reaches the optimum level of water, although the visibility towards the area where the miners are trapped is zero.
Hundreds of military and other rescuers participate in the rescue operation at the coal mine Pinabetein the town of Agujita, state Coahuilawhere on Wednesday the 3rd a flood trapped 10 miners.
One of the sinkholes is already at 4.9 meters, from the 30 meters of water that existed the day after the accident, although the level considered optimal for the rescue is 1.5 meters.
“We hope that today, in well 2, we are reaching levels where rescuers can enter,” said the national coordinator of Civil protection, Laura Velazquezat the presidential conference.
“We will be evaluating it throughout the day. We have to be careful not to expose anyone,” he added.
The incident occurred when a crew working in the extraction of coal opened a hole in an adjoining mine that was flooded, causing the water to overflow towards the place where they were maneuvering, according to the Mexican government.
The families who watch day and night waiting for news from the miners were impatient and anxious before the start of the rescue in the sinkhole, located in the municipality of Sabinas, in the northern state of Coahuila.
