A second person was found dead after a massive landslide in Norway, which affected dozens of homes. Eight people remain missing and the chances of being found alive are slim, authorities in the northern state say.
The search is difficult, because the ground is unstable and at any moment it can collapse again. Authorities use helicopters, thermal cameras to detect human body heat, drones and specially trained search dogs. Devices are also used to capture the waves emitted by the mobile phones of the disappeared.
The landslide occurred in a residential area about 30 kilometers from Oslo.
At least 10 people were injured and others were injured thousand evacuated.
Norwegian authorities announced this Saturday that they have found a second body, and rescue operations continue to find the missing, three days after a terrifying landslide in Ask, in the municipality of Gjerdrum, a town of 5,000 inhabitants located at the north. -It is east of the Norwegian capital.
On Friday, rescue teams found a first person dead in the rubble. The body has not yet been identified, but police have published a list of the names of the ten missing, including two children aged 2 and 13 and eight adults, respectively.
The roughly 1,000 people who were evacuated cannot return to their homes due to the unstable terrain. The land continued to collapse from Friday night to Saturday, reports AFP, taken over by Agerpres.
The landslide has created a huge trench, 350 meters wide and 800 meters long, and the ground is still unstable. At least ten people were injured, one of them in serious condition, being transferred to Oslo.
Upon arriving at the scene, Prime Minister Erna Solberg stressed that this landslide is one of the largest ever recorded in Norway.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Norway is also threatened by extreme weather these days. In the dead of winter, the authorities in this northern country have issued a yellow fire code for areas where there is no snow and where vegetation can easily burn. At the same time, flood alerts have been issued in other areas.
