They (the experts) explained us that there would be danger to people who had contact with the fragments because they aren't radioactive.
Now we knowing it's safe, we decided to continue digging the site of impact, because we can find, maybe, more fragments.
Coyoc Pech said, yet, that researchers confirmed that the fragments are not the result of an electrical problem, as have said employees of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE - Federal Commission of Electricity). It was verified that what hit the community is, in deed, something that came from sky.
