Regarding the mining brigade, he stressed that "in terms of technology, they handle it perfectly, and not only have they intervened in lots of rescues, but they are constantly rehearsing in the tailings of Asturias where they make galleries". He also explained that the gallery that will be excavated will have dimensions of one meter wide by 1.20 meters high and will not be exactly horizontal, but "a little ascending to facilitate the fall of material."

The mining brigade displaced from Asturias to Totalán (Málaga) has evaluated "the risks and has all the solutions provided" in the excavation of the tunnel to access the well where the small Julen fell, according to Juan López-Escobar, delegate of the College of Engineers of Mines of the South. The miners, who are waiting to intervene in the next few hours, "continue with the illusion of being able to get Julen alive, and that hope moves them, although it is not easy", he added to the journalists López-Escobar, who has met with the technical director of said brigade.

The chances of finding Julen alive are complicated as the hours pass. "We are in the time limit," explained pediatrician Jorge Muñoz, who works in cooperation and who attends ABC from Chad, where he is in a two-week intervention. His experience tells him that every day that passes is more complicated to get Julen alive from that narrow hole. "Oxygen is important, but if it does not have water or food, it would not survive more than a week or ten days," Muñoz said. You can have air for the composition of soil, since the agglomeration of slate stone, according to geologists, lets air through.

The area where Totalán works is a "very complex" geological unit, formed by phyllites and quartzite composition materials. As said on Sunday, the delegate of the College of Engineers of Malaga, Ángel García Vidal, goes from hard materials to very hard ones.

The drilling of a parallel tunnel to which the child Julen fell in Totalán (Málaga) is currently at a depth of 53 meters, seven meters from the target, after having subjected the drilling machine to some maintenance work. The coordinator of the team, Ángel García, delegate of the Association of Civil Engineers of Malaga, explained that drilling continued throughout the night "in extreme working conditions and with materials of enormous hardness".

When it arrived in the early morning at 52 meters, it was decided that the driller "had to maintain and change the mechanisms with which such a complex machine works". "We are at a level so deep and in such difficult working conditions, that this and any machine of these characteristics that is on the market, which are not so common, would have the same conditions after so many hours working and especially with the materials that we are finding ", Garcia added.

A cage built for this work will lower the miners and the material through the vertical tunnel made to rescue Julen, and all the drilling will have "aeration facilities to have a clean atmosphere to work", said the delegate of the College of Engineers of Mines.

The biggest problem facing the mining brigade of Asturias displaced to Totalán (Malaga) is the hardness of the land, which could delay the rescue and force them to use some explosive, which would allow them to remove the land by microvoladuras. This is what Efe assured that was the head of this brigade between 2005 and 2009, Santiago Suárez García, who through WhatsApp maintains contact with the brigadistas who last Tuesday moved to Totalán to help in the rescue work of the small Julen .

The miners' brigade that will participate in the Julen rescue began operating in January 1912. It carried out its first intervention in the María Luisa mining well in Langreo (Asturias). They faced the effects of a flammable and poisonous gas explosion. In 1914 they made first rescue of people. In a May 20 gas explosion, which killed four people and seriously injured another. Defendants for extreme performances underground were established as Rescue Association in the Mines (A.S.M.) in 1925. Read it here, by J. J. Madueño.

"Any questions, ask, get it to me, we know the memory operation and I also understand the difficulties they are having," said Rodrigo Reveco, the inventor of the Fénix capsule that was designed to rescue the 33 miners trapped in a mine. Chile in 2010.

Reveco, the inventor of the Phoenix capsule, has insisted on encouragement for the entire operation and has transferred "a lot of strength, a lot of patience and a lot of calm". "We have to take adrenaline in our favor, we can not fall into errors, mistakes in underground issues, in mines, are paid dearly, are paid with life."
