00:01Four hours of angustia were the affected by the crash of the river Quindío.
00:11The water was quickly and the efforts of the socorrist for save us were infructuring.
00:17According to Luz Marina Rojas, the mother of one of the rescatadas,
00:20everything happened in a matter of seconds.
00:22We already started to leave and one of my girls stayed in the middle of bed.
00:30When she started to cry, I said, I'm going to be ahogando, I'm going to be ahogando.
00:32And my husband the saw and then, in the moment, one of the neighbors shot and in less than a
00:38second,
00:39we saw the borracha and we were trapped.
00:4316 people were trapped, 14 were members of the same family,
00:48and the other two, a couple of men more, that were playing in the same zone.
00:52The difficult conditions were forced to ask another department.
00:57The 8th Brigade communicated with the center of command and control of us
00:59and so we were able to enter the situation of these people who were trapped in the river Quindío.
01:07It was a joint operation, the Civil Civil coordinated everything from the ground
01:10and the Fuerza Aérea took them in helicopter.
01:14We did a 8-8 per cuerda, and finally we had a helicopter that complemented this work.
01:20The 14 people were carried out to the stadium of Calarcá, where they were able to enter the aeronave,
01:26for the respective medical review.
01:28Fortunately, there was a big piece of terrain,
01:30that the river didn't reach, and thanks to God, the water didn't reach there.
01:36After the checkup, the rescatados were sent to casa.
01:39All, fortunately and despite the difficult conditions, they were alive.
01:43They had to be a Salvo.
01:44They were alive.
