Look for missing passages from saitama abyss to the drain pipe

The authorities of the Prefecture of Saitama move the search for a 74-year-old missing man whose truck was engulfed by a chasm in the city of Yashio last month of the abyss himself to a sewer hose where the cabin of truck was found, according to the media.

The firefighters resumed research operations with heavy machines Sunday morning after a suspension of several days due to the water leak in the hole. While the water levels had decreased on Sunday morning, the water began to go up in the hole shortly after, forcing the authorities to stop operations after about 30 minutes, NHK and NTV reported.

When searching for Sunday, no clue to the missing driver’s spell was found in the hole. Like other collapses are possible, the authorities have decided to end research in the abyss due to concerns for rescuers’ safety.

Firefighters are now considering alternative research methods, in particular by entering the drain pipes through man holes, reported NHK. But as hydrogen sulfide can fill the sewer pipes and present a danger for rescuers, the authorities are considering means to work.

The accident occurred on the morning of January 28, when a road section at an intersection in Yashio collapsed, plunging a truck passing through the hole. While a piece that would be part of the driver’s driver’s driver’s seat was discovered last week inside a sewer hose about 100 to 200 meters downstream from the site, the place where the driver remains unknown .
