There will be no more news from Karmadon. If they are not created
Two weeks after the Ministry of Emergency Situations recommended to stop prospecting in the Karmadon Gorge, the government of North Ossetia finally made such a decision. From tough and even irritated official comments, it became clear that this decision was a willful one, and not a compromise. It was not possible to reach an agreement with the organizers of search operations and relatives of those killed in Karmadon.
These people are still sure that it is necessary to continue the rescue (terminology of the relatives of the victims) work. Experts say that there is no one to save for a long time, it is even impossible to find the bodies.
The situation is ambiguous. Sympathy for people who lost their relatives in a terrible catastrophe begins to transform into misunderstanding and even cause some fear. More recently, another tragedy occurred in Karmadon: several journalists died. Rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations seriously warn of a huge risk for divers working in the gorge. Scientists talk about the threat of further melting of the glacier.
The criminal actions of some people who, in principle, have not lost any of their relatives in the Karmadon Gorge, are also alarming. Their participation can now be regarded as speculation and an attempt to make money on someone else's grief. So, in an incomprehensible and unofficial way, according to Minister of Emergency Situations Sergei Shoigu, about 60 tons of explosives and about 1,500 mines got into Karmadon.
After the cessation of work and the dismantling of equipment, checkpoints for monitoring the glacier will remain in the gorge. Most likely, the relatives of the victims will also remain. Moral and legal responsibility for their lives now, according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, will fall on the "organizers of the process."
