The images of ARA San Juan have arrived in South Africa, have been copied to external hard drives and will be monitored 24 hours a day.

After 5:30 am, the Norwegian ship Seabed Constructor docked in the port of Cape Town, South Africa, and ended its historical participation looking for the ARA San Juan submarine. With the four veedore parents and the three navy members who monitored the mission, the 67,000 images of the submarine which will become from Tuesday a key element of the investigation that tries to determine what happened with the naval unit and its 44 crew members.

Photos and videos were copied immediately to external hard drives and they were sheltered in a diplomatic bag that will be transported to Argentina by Captain Gonzalo Prieto, recently appointed Defense Attaché at the Embbady of Argentina in South Africa, with extension to Mozambique and Namibia. The material will be kept 24 hours a day for five days, until it is finally in the hands of Judge Marta Yáñez on Tuesday, 4 December.

The diplomatic staff and the consul in Johannesburg, Pablo Graziano, will provide logistical support to naval observers and their families during their stay in South Africa. Silvina Krawczyk, Luis Luis Castillo, Luis Tagliapietra and Fernando Arjona were the four family representatives they left everything go in search of their loved ones. The emotion still overwhelms them, although they realize that after the discovery of the ship, a new stage of investigation begins.

In this sense, the Navy reported that there was an official vote imposed by the Federal Court of Caleta Olivia, which demands that justice be rendered to all information gathered during the search process.

The few images observed so far by Yáñez (the three broadcast by the Navy and others captured by the seabed sonar) provided him with concrete data on the state of the ship and the confirmation of the implosion of unity. Determining the reason for the outbreak will be the challenge of justice and for that, it will be crucial to have a technology that allows for 3D Recreation water entering the submarine, the explosion that followed and its fall on the seabed. "We think of a virtual reconstruction, reproduce on earth what we find at sea, a digital model that brings us as close as possible to the moment when the submarine sank," said judicial sources.

The confirmation of the implosion of the hull reaffirms the idea that the ship sank as a result of a failure or improper closing of the hull. Valve E19, that during navigation must be closed for security reasons. For reasons that remain unclear, this mechanism did not prevent the pbadage of water to the batteries, triggering the principle of fire. For Justice, the possibility that the crew made a mistake is the least likely hypothesis: it is based on a report from ARA San Juan captain Pedro Martin Fernandez, who nearly three months before the tragedy , had warned that the E19 was missing seal, that is to say, it did not close well. The document, which was disclosed exclusively by TN.com.ar, is the key to the file.

The delegation will leave Cape Town on December 3 for Argentine territory via Doha (Qatar) and arrive in Buenos Aires on December 4.
