Into the abyss a depth of 80 meters fell excavator and two cars. At the moment, rescuers confirmed the death of two people. Both victims worked for a company that manages the quarry.
Their bodies are still at the bottom of the abyss. The work of rescuers is complicated by the fact that on top of the broken machine was bombarded with mud and stones. And the preserved sections of the road is very unstable.
