first level , those cracks just in

00:30.530 --> 00:33.909
recent weeks developed more , more flow

00:41.070 --> 00:43.237
the same time as engineering , working

00:43.237 --> 00:45.126
on a repair plan . Uh and they're

00:45.126 --> 00:47.070
working not only with the internal

00:47.070 --> 00:48.848
