00:00The story of Ruben Salazar, this man who worked in Andreani, who was arriving from the south, from Vietnam,
00:07back to Bahia Blanca in his truck, who meets the Hecker family in a car,
00:12who tries to rescue them, and who ends up being a victim of this chain.
00:18The mother, the father, save themselves from this family, Delfina and Pilar, 1 and 5 years old,
00:23two little girls, to whom CER tries to help, who are missing at the moment.
00:28Ruben appears dead near his truck, a truck to which, Alejandro, you approached,
00:35you managed to arrive yesterday with the A24 team,
00:38which is a bit of a symbol, this story of the desolation of this tragedy,
00:43a story that already has a dead man, this particular story, I say, and two little girls missing.
00:49Tell us a little about how it was the moment of arriving to this truck,
00:54you know well, and we all know, it is the scenario of a heroic attempt, there we are seeing it,
00:58to rescue the members of a family, which ends with a dead man, a worker from Andreani,
01:04and two little girls missing.
01:08Yes, the story is too strong, it is very, very strong, very hard.
01:16Just the fact, look, I'm going to tell you, and I want to be honest with you,
01:20last night, together with my partner, it was hard for us to sleep.
01:23It was a very intense day, and I told Juan, well, tomorrow we have to continue, Juan,
01:30because I have a little girl, and you know what your daughter thinks,
01:34at almost the same age, and I say, what would those two girls have lived,
01:40one and almost five, terrified on top of the roof in the truck,
01:45and then we don't know what happened to them.
01:47Well, I don't even want to think about it, because it breaks me,
01:50but the situation of being there, of having been there for an hour and a half,
01:55us walking, and that there are no people looking for them,
01:57even if it is to comfort their parents.
01:59To find a truck driver, whose truck was dragged by the water,
02:03and he was hanging on a track, and say, I'm here, because I'm afraid they'll rob me,
02:07but he's alone, yes, there was no one.
02:09And a man says, yes, here they found a body,
02:12I gave him the sheet to wrap it up and take it out,
02:14because the family doesn't know, maybe it's the body of a relative,
02:17the car being turned around,
02:19to find the family car, with the girl's chair and her toys,
02:24well, the situation and the story is too strong,
02:28and then one says, there are a lot of these stories that I'm going through here,
02:34and you don't end up getting out of a system of anguish that ends up being strong.
02:39Today I found this story, too, of this girl who died,
02:43her daughter being there, I didn't interview her,
02:45look, I tell you, I could have interviewed her,
02:48and had a girl crying in the air,
02:50and I didn't interview her because I saw her so destroyed,
02:52that I say, I look the other way,
02:55because there comes a time that, well, nothing,
02:58what one sees on the other side of the screen,
03:00we are living here, and it ends up being a very big emotional load,
03:05like this, now, having three cars here,
03:07that the gringo, you know, is up there,
03:09and here, behind me, two trees with relatives,
03:12waiting to see if their father is there,
03:15inside a car, crushed by the rubble,
03:17that the water took him,
03:18I mean, the situation is very strong.
03:21It's strong to imagine everything you tell us,
03:27one can't stop thinking about what will happen in their parents' heads,
03:32the truth is, we can't stop talking about something else,
03:35because it's symbolic, right?
03:37Because there are 100 people left,
03:39and maybe this story of these two little girls
03:41will multiply by a lot,
03:43but it's symbolic, because we know them,
03:46we put a face on them, they have a name,
03:48there's a story,
03:49and so, it breaks our hearts to imagine ourselves in that situation,
03:53to imagine ourselves in that situation,
03:56to see the girls on the roof of that truck,
03:59to know what happened to the driver.
04:02It's very hard, very hard,
04:04because you still don't have a dimension
04:07of where this tragedy can lead to, Ale.
04:10And what you show us,
04:12of people waiting for rubble to be raised
04:16to see if a relative appears,
04:18it's brutal, we've never experienced it.
04:21All the time, I get images of the floods in La Plata,
04:25I was in that situation,
04:26I was in the water,
04:27while the body of a person passed by my side.
04:31But this is something else,
04:33because when La Plata happened,
04:35the worst had already happened,
04:37and it was, well, let's see how far this can go,
04:40but you feel that this is immense,
04:44that it won't be easy to find the missing people.
04:49I don't know if you have the same feeling.
04:54I lived in La Plata,
04:56I had two meters of water in my house
04:58when the La Plata incident happened,
05:00and from there, one of the most affected areas
05:02was where I lived at that time.
05:05And they talk about 50 fatal victims,
05:07and there are people,
05:08whole families who disappeared.
05:10Those of us who were there
05:11know that this figure is not possible.
05:14About the flood,
05:15and something similar is happening here,
05:17that, well, let's say,
05:1816 victims,
05:19to decorate a number,
05:20to not have a political position,
05:23it's hard,
05:24because the testimonies tell you the truth.
05:28I arrived in a neighborhood
05:29where no one had arrived yet to help.
05:31How can it be that I arrived
05:32and no one arrived,
05:33even if a person arrived,
05:34walking,
05:35to assist her,
05:36of so many people who have come
05:37from all over to assist.
05:38Well,
05:40the situation is very painful, Sole,
05:43and what you covered in La Plata,
05:45which you have seen in the first person,
05:47happens here.
05:48We don't know who the dog barked at,
05:49he's been restless since today,
05:51stuck to the stream.
05:52All the people are watching that now.
05:55But they suspect, Alejandro,
05:56that he may be perceiving the presence of a body,
05:59or of a person trapped in some way.
06:03That's the tension.
06:04We don't know,
06:06but the dog is very worried,
06:08next to the water,
06:10barking since today.
06:11Look, look,
06:12the person behind me,
06:13we are all attentive to this.
06:16The dog stuck to the water,
06:18we don't know if he does it regularly,
06:21or now he is,
06:22let's say,
06:23looking for something.
06:24And he barks at the water constantly.
06:26Maybe he saw something fall into the water.
06:29Yes, he perceives things that people don't.
06:32Maybe he goes back to the place where
06:35he last saw something.
06:37Yes, or the smells, Javi,
06:39the smells,
06:40the sense they have,
06:41surpasses any man.
06:43Let's see, do we stay here?
