The crew of Helimer 207 has been honoured with the "medal of civil protection" in acknowledgement of risking their lives to safe others.

The body of captain José Luis López Alcalá has been recovered. His funeral will take place tomorrow. Meanwhile the vessel "Clara Campoamor" is still working on recovering the other two crew members.
This progress is taking time, because the submarine is only allowed to dive twice a day and only for a maximum of 15 minutes (if I have understood the article correctly).
