Thick clouds and harmful terrain are hampering the retrieval of the our bodies of the 4 fatalities of the Cessna airplane crash in Mayon Volcano, an area official stated Friday.
Interviewed on Unang Balita, Camalig, Albay Mayor Carlos Irwin Baldo stated it’s unlikely that the retrieval operations wouldn’t be accomplished on Friday.
“Hindi po kakayanin ngayong araw kasi kahit kahapon, kahit maganda yung panahon dito, nako-coveran ng makapal na ulap yung Mayon. Hindi po makagalaw yung retriever natin doon sa taas,” Baldo stated.
(We can not full the operation in the present day as a result of even when the climate was honest yesterday, Mayon was coated in thick clouds. Our retrievers may hardly carry out their job.)
“Kapag ginagalaw nila nang kaunti yung bangkay nagdadausdos pababa ‘yung mga rocks doon kaya delikado po sa mga rescuers po natin,” he added.
(When they had been transferring the our bodies, rocks fell down so it might be harmful for our rescuers.)
For now, Baldo stated members of the retrieval crew would simply arrange anchor vaults and ropes to make sure their security.
The discovery of the 4 our bodies was introduced on Thursday, days after the Cessna 340 airplane crashed in Mayon, an lively volcano.
