Personnel leapt through the hole and rescued survivors from amongst the pile of bodies.

During the rescue operation, only 13 souls out of a crew of 113 were saved even including those who escaped by themselves

In order not to be blinded by seeing bright light all of a sudden, the rescuers blindfolded the crews when rescuing them

The sacrifice of 100 heroes

Was not in vain.

So, rest in peace
