A Spanish research vessel that investigates marine ecosystems has been called to help recover nearly 100 people thought dead after devastating floods as the family of two young brothers still missing reveal their heartbreak.
The 24 crew members aboard the Ramon Margalef were preparing on Friday to use its sensors and submersible robot to map an offshore area of 14 square miles — the equivalent of more than 5,000 football fields — to see if they can locate vehicles that last week’s catastrophic floods swept into the Mediterranean Sea.
