Chapter 865: Aftershocks!
Rescuing people in an earthquake is most likely to be successfully rescued within 48 hours, or even 72 hours, so rescuing a few people at this time is not particularly exciting material for those who do news.
But it's not the same if it's a celebrity who is rescued!
Although Laura Fonta is not a European first-line actress, there is not much problem in the second and third lines, and her successful rescue can attract the attention of a large number of people, which is a great thing for the news department of the United Television Network!
In the case of the powerful earthquake that struck the Philippines, the United Television Network (JVN) became the "biggest winner" among its peers, and the news media in the Western world were paying attention to its every move, and the first-hand information could only quote the news broadcast by the United Television Network, and even the other top news media in the United States and Western Europe could only drink some soup with the United Television Network.
There is no way, even if CNN and BBC have a reporter station in the Philippines and send a support team as quickly as possible, there is no way to enter Baguio, the hardest-hit Baguio!
Besides, the Manila airport has been temporarily closed for most of the day, the planes taken by the support and reporting team have not yet reached Philippine airspace, and a small amount of US military helicopter capacity will not leave a place for you CNN at all, at least don't even think about it for the next few days!
After being pressured by public opinion, the US military stationed in the Philippines was ruthless, and privately wanted to compete with the private security company with good relations, and had no time to pay attention to the gang of troublemakers.
As for the question of positive image, there is a United Television Network, but they have a group of people who are specially following the US military in Baguio and showing the glorious image of American GIs more than the "United Forces" in the news in front of the American people.
The most important thing is that the efficiency of the people is really good, and as soon as the shooting is finished here, the material can be transmitted back to China immediately!
The US military could not count on it, and the "United Forces" had four helicopters rotating 24 hours a day, but they not only had the same name as the United Television Network, but also belonged to the same parent company.
You're too embarrassed to ask, lest you're bored: fools help their competitors!
……
Less than five o'clock in the morning on the 18th, the sky began to brighten, and the rescue point in Baguio Park once again came with good news: the American couple found yesterday were successfully rescued after nearly 12 hours of non-stop rescue!
He was in good physical condition, because a small amount of drinking water, food and lighting had been sent before, and the time of rescue was early in the morning, not only was he in good physical condition, but like that Fanna, he did not need to cover his eyes with a blindfold.
There was no need to send Baguio away immediately, and after checking their health, the couple went to the temporary tent rest point to simply take a shower with the collected rainwater, eat a decent meal, and sleep on the marching bed.
Sanchez and the others were already exhausted, and the excavation of the rescue site in the "banquet hall" was temporarily stopped.
Without frightening the trapped people inside, "Snake Eyes" sent in a wire connected to a miniature microphone and microphone, telling the people inside to pause the excavation for half an hour: everyone has no strength, slow down, and from more than ten kilometers away, a security training camp will have 50 new troops about to arrive.
The people below can understand it......
If you don't understand, you can't do it, it will take at least ten or twenty hours to get them out, and the rescuers are not iron-clad, so it's useless for you to be in a hurry!
Besides, these trapped people belong to the "don't worry about eating and drinking" below, don't worry!
There are people above who don't understand: after rescuing the Spanish actors, the guys have been working in "three shifts and two shifts", and little Zamorano actually has a little strength, but he was forced by Sanchez to sleep for a few hours.
Samorano Jr. privately asked the captain why.
"Let you go and rest, and when you get up, you will have to spend your strength!"
Seeing that the young man was still a little stubborn, Sanchez sighed and said: "It's been almost 40 hours, have you felt that there have been several aftershocks so far, but none of them have been higher than level five."
The main shock is 7.7 magnitude, how many aftershocks do you think there will be?"
Little Zamorano seemed to understand the captain's intentions a little, and thought for a moment before saying, "At least level 5.5 to 6." ”
Sanchez smiled bitterly and pointed to the ruins again, "Level six, you say it can't hold on?"
I and the old Samorano went to study the rescue plan again, it was too deep, continue to demolish, let alone come to level six, I am afraid that the demolition will collapse by itself.
The guys are the breadwinners of the family, and I have to try to live to bring them back. ”
Sanchez is more and more uneasy in his heart, he is the captain of the rescue team, not only responsible for the trapped people, but also responsible for the team members!
“…… The space below is large, there are basically no wounded, and they are still in the banquet hall where the banquet is going to be held, and they will not starve to death for three or five days.
I couldn't dig anymore, and I thought about cutting it all so that I could get people out in another 72 hours at most. ”
Saving people is important, but Sanchez is the captain of the rescue team of a private company, and as long as he can get people out alive, it will be too late. As for the mood of the trapped...... That's not something he needs to think about, the lives of those people down there are not as important as his own team members in his eyes.
There will be reinforcements, because after almost 24 hours of effort, the village near the camp ended last night.
All the living were rescued, and the dead were dug up, and there were no missing people anyway.
As for what post-disaster reconstruction or something, it's about the "joint forces" bird matter!
Temporarily giving the victims in the camp a bite to eat, a place to live, and then treating the injured, Zhang Zhenjin and Braid, the team leaders, both thought that they had done their best.
The next thing is that of the Philippine government, and the security contractors are not interested in interfering.
Although rescue is needed in Baguio City, after the guys in the camp have been rescuing for two days and one night, and they don't close their eyes, Braid, who is at the rescue point of the Hyatt Regency Baguio, also has to think about the guys.
After discussing with Zhang Zhenjin on the radio, it was decided that everyone in the camp would sleep and rest except for the staff on duty!
Support Baguio again tomorrow morning.
……
After taking a breath, Sanchez and a few of the most experienced old miners took two other "snake eyes" to determine the situation of the ruins again.
Little Samorano arrived in the tent, did not even take off his shoes, and fell asleep on the empty camp bed sent by the helicopter last night.
There was a whole row of marching beds on the side, and there were a bunch of people lying upside down, and some of the guys began to snore.
As a result, not long after lying down, this person was confused, as if he felt that someone was shaking him!
A ghost woke up, and no one was shaking at all, "Aftershock!"
Everyone in the tent jumped up and rushed out of the tent.
People couldn't stand steadily, and little Zamorano immediately knew: this aftershock could have a magnitude 6!
