The Spanish air force Airbus A 330 transport waiting to fly back with mariners, alive and deceased.
A Spanish air force aircraft arrived at Mount Pleasant International Airport on Friday evening, sent to bring back survivors and deceased crew members of the Argos Georgia. The Airbus A-330, dispatched by the Spanish foreign affairs and defense ministries, will transport the six survivors and two deceased mariners back to Spain.
The Falklands government will conduct an inquiry into the tragedy, and autopsies will be performed to identify the deceased. Speculation on the causes of the incident is circulating, but caution is advised until further investigations are conducted.
Survivors’ testimonies are crucial for the inquiry, leading to the possibility of Spaniards staying longer in the Falklands. Out of the ten Spanish mariners, six survived, two were deceased, and two remain missing.
