Nighttime “thriller” in Almyros with three workers at the Xiria reservoir work to fight not to be carried away by the waters of the stream, hanging from the trees due to cyclone “Janos”.
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.
Dramatic hours
Darkness covered the area, the rain continued and a helicopter was unable to “get up” to help them due to the winds.
EMAK’s efforts to reach them by tracker were lengthy.
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 is a mobile phone that was “rescued” from the water, while one of them uses the lens of the mobile phone to make a signal.
“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.
“We live in a thriller”
As the Deputy Governor of Thessaly, Dorothea, Kolindrini described “we are experiencing a thriller. For the first time in my life I experience something like this. “
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.”
She explains that the Fire Brigade and EMAK are trying to reach them with a tractor.
The national highway was closed
According to the Traffic Police, in fact, previously there was a traffic stop at kilometer 286 of the National Highway, at the height of Almyros, downstream from Athens due to accumulation of water, while at this time the traffic is carried out from a lane with great difficulty.
