"People rushed towards the shore, everyone keen not to miss a part of the spectacle, as this is one of those scenes that rarely happens and will remain a vivid memory in the memory of those who saw it. The divers' rope got caught on something heavy and seemed still. The hooks grabbed it. They tried to pull it and shake it more than once, but it remained steady. One of the divers made sure that his clothing and equipment were complete before he jumped into the deep water of the river. Breaths were held on the shore, and anxiety grew on the son's face. An old man said, shading his eyes with his hand and squeezing them tightly: Is it possible that the sea swallows a large ship by taking it down? He lowered his hand and clapped his hands together, before going back to shading his eyes."
