Cottim, and Sue,
We heard about that terrible Bridge accident in Portugal.
It showed the divers in the water trying to do anything they could. Didn't look good. Do either of you live close by or have you heard any updates?

Hi Natasha
It was in fact a terrible accident. I live in Lisbon and that was around 30 km from Porto (up in the north). As far as I've heard and seen, all the rescue work by the divers has been difficult due the strong streams and lack of visibility. Until now they were not able to remove any corpus from the bus.
Let's wait for further news.

Natasha,
Sorry for this late reply.
One month after the accident, they found the bus. Later they found 2 of the 3 cars.
Only less than 20 corpses where found (ca 70 dead).
The river was rough and the divers could do nothing for a long time.
Then, some french firefighter divers came and considered they could do nothing.
A terrible thing is that french firefighters are better trained and equiped than portuguese navy divers.
Our diving law dates back to 1968. That is why!
So much for the news about the accident.
That's all we know too.
And everything was do to sand extraction from the bottom of the river.
So much for our government!
Cheers
BTW: Both Sue and I live in Lisbon, 300+ km S from the accident (not 30 as Sue wrote by mistake)
