The minister of Resources no renueval pointed out this Thursday that there wasn't enough time to find the find two miners with life. They were trap and hidden under the crumbs of the collapse. The bodies were found Wednesday at night by the rescue people.
Three Ecuadorians and one Peruvian were trap since last Friday in the mine Casa Negra, near Portovelo, that is 400 south the capital, Quito. The next day the rescuers found the Paúl Aguirre the Ecuadorian Wálter Vera. After that they initiated a search to find the other two workers Angel Vera and Pedro Mendoza hoping that they will still be alive.
Sadly they couldn't find them on time, and when the rescuers found them it was too late. The bodies were still warm, meaning that they weren't dead long time ago. "We needed couple hours more" stated Ramirez, one of the miners.
Also the president Correa added that he will give support to the widows and the kids of the miners, giving them housing, scholarships for the kids and health insurance.
