Work aimed at raising the wreckage began on Wednesday and the divers are setting up points of connection on the Hableány.

However, the current in the Danube remains unusually strong, visibility is poor and the Danube is not ebbing as expected.

The water level actually rose yesterday, preventing the crane ship Clark Ádám from floating downstream to the accident site.

The water is expected to recede from today, but it may be next week before the crane can be deployed, Index writes.
