They will ask for help from Germany and the United States

“Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs we will be contacting two foreign companies, one is located in Germany and the other in the United States,” reported the head of Civil Protection, Laura Velazquezwithout saying the name of the companies.

The new strategy was announced on Monday, after the water level suddenly rose on Sunday in the wells where the rescue was to be attempted with military divers in the town of little needle (state Coahuilanorth).

The plan consists of seal leaks to the coal mine Pinabete -where the workers disappeared-, which are produced from a neighboring deposit, abandoned 30 years ago, known as North shells.

To that end, a wall will be built, said Velázquez during the president’s daily conference Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorwithout specifying how long the work will take.

The foreign firms “will give us an opinion to determine the actions (to follow) with greater precision,” said the official, noting that the advice to Mexico also responds to a “permanent request by the families” of the miners.

The president of Mexico had already raised on Monday the possibility of seeking support abroad for the rescue. “If it’s deemed necessary, rescuers are seen and brought in from anywhere in the world,” he said.

Since last Sunday, the level of water in the well that offered the greatest hope for the entry of divers rose from 1.30 meters to 39.20 meters this TuesdayVelazquez reported. One day after the accident it was 30 meters.

The accident occurred on August 3 when the miners opened a hole in a wall next to Conchas Norte, causing the water to overflow towards the place where they were maneuvering. Five workers came out alive.

Since then there have been no signs of life of the other ten workers.
