The working groups deployed diving teams and used rubber boats, search engines, ropes... to search for victims at night.

Due to the darkness, visibility was very limited, and the water level was high, making the search very difficult. At about 22:56 the same day, the authorities recovered the body of the first victim; about 15 minutes later, the body of the second victim was also found.
