The Governor of Thessaly, Costas Agorastos, spoke of a very difficult operation to free the three people who have been washed away by the waters of the stream in Almyros, Magnesia.
Speaking to MEGA, he stressed that “we are constantly in contact with them, however it is very difficult to release them due to the rapidity of the waters.”
As he said, the men of the Fire Brigade, EMAK and the army are making a titanic effort, while in the next few hours a tracked operation will follow.
How they got carried away
As the rain fell since noon, the three workers decided to leave the construction site safe as there were containers to keep them safe, and on the way the creek was flooded.
According to the website ethessalia.gr, the waters washed away the car they were traveling in and began dramatic hours for them. They called the Fire Department but due to the torrent of water it was impossible for a vehicle to approach.
Darkness covered the area, the rain continued and a helicopter was unable to “get up” to help them due to the winds.

Dramatic hours
The efforts of EMAK, the Fire Department and the Army are long hours to approach them by tracker.
The great adventure began when they found out that their car was being washed away by water currents and they decided to leave it to avoid drowning. They tried to find them on the bank of the stream and were caught by the trees not to get carried away.
The hours are dramatic and their only communication was initially a cell phone that was “rescued” from the water, however, later the men operating at the site have eye contact with them.
“Save us, we are not going to be able to hold out for long,” he said in the communication he had with the Fire Department and the lieutenant governor, according to the website.

According to her, the helicopter was unable to take off due to the winds and the car was swept away. “There are three people who have been caught from the trees and are in the water to save themselves. “The current swept them away when they decided to leave the construction site and get out of the car.”
