Chapter 860: Let's Dig It
The rescue team did not immediately dig people in a hurry, but first determined whether it was "her", whether it was alive, and whether there were any living people nearby.
You can't do it brutely, in case you crush the possible survivors nearby to death because you save someone, that's really...
It didn't take a minute for the old Zamorano to operate the "snake eye" to conduct a circular search of more than 240 degrees: the others did not find it, but they saw another leg and upper body.
Because of the angle, I did not see the head.
"Touch it. ”
Regarding the captain's words, the elder Zamorano immediately said: "Understood. ”
Touch what?
Legs!
The other leg of the trapped person was pressed by a cement beam, and the situation was terrible from the screen, and even if the person was alive, it was estimated that the leg might have been necrotic.
The operation "Snake Eye" deliberately lightly bumped the calf that was still wearing shoes......
"Alive!"
Old Zamorano shouted!
Through the screen, he saw that the leg seemed to move slightly, very slightly, but it moved!
The miners' small methods and irregular methods Even if the injured are in a coma, the muscles will still respond to external stimuli, and the impact of the "snake eye" impact is actually very small, and it will definitely not be injured by the trapped people at home.
"Snake Eyes" took it back and handed it over to the other teams to search for survivors, and Sanchez and the others studied the cement structures and spatial structures covered by the female trapped people, dig it!
On pickaxes, cutters, and crowbars, the miners' rescue team has rich experience in dealing with this collapsed structure, and they also use wind picks bravely.
Based on the images of the internal structure of the ruins provided by Snake Eyes, Sanchez believes that the vibration of a single pickaxe will not cause the structure to collapse, nor will it cause more damage to the trapped injured.
However, Mr. Captain still felt that the equipment at hand was a bit insufficient, and asked the contact person to contact Clark Day Air Force Base immediately before using the pickaxe.
“... The rescue point of the Park Hotel has found three traces of survivors, and the burial depth is very deep! We only have one 'snake eye', if there is any surplus equipment shipped from the United States, send a few more sets immediately, quickly!"
Since it has been decided to use a pickaxe, it is best to have snake eyes to cooperate with the fear of 10,000 in case, and it is safest to continuously monitor the situation of the ruin structure near the trapped person during the rescue process.
The temporary logistics command of the "Combined Forces" at Clark Air Force Base immediately recovered: "Two units, send them over with Black Hawks immediately!"
Ready for the landing site and delivered in 40 minutes!"
After listening to the contact person and the interpreter, Sanchez, who was directing the team to pry the cement slab, nodded in understanding.
"The head office is a cow!"
After thinking about it, he shouted to the other two groups of people: "Send the 'snake eyes' over, don't use the pickaxe in the two positions of you!"
The location of the other two trapped people has also been determined, a couple is trapped in the triangular space of a collapsed room, with some abrasions, but they can still talk to the snake eyes, jumping around.
However, the distance from the surface of the ruins is at least six or seven meters vertical, and it is basically the end, and the rescue difficulty is much higher than that of the female trapped in high heels.
I couldn't hear what the couple was saying, but they made a connection, and after ten minutes or so, a small piece of chocolate and a small piece of paper were tied to the tube using a strong "snake's eye" fiber tube, giving the couple confidence.
As for the third point, it is even better news!
It seems to be a banquet hall, and there were many people preparing for a party there, which should be rehearsing or walking on the stage and setting up, and there should be a lot of people there.
When the building collapsed in the earthquake, the huge room was stuck by tall columns, and as soon as Snake Eyes got inside, he found five or six people together.
I couldn't hear the sound, but a trapped person who might be a hotel staff took advantage of the light of the "snake eye" to write a distress message with a pen and a small piece of torn cloth, and uploaded it to the "snake eye".
Very exciting news!
There were at least 30 survivors below, and these people were still hungry to death, and they were not thirsty enough to prepare for the feast, and there were a lot of drinks, and even some snacks had been put on the table, but there was a lack of lighting tools.
Some people have lighters, but they don't dare to use them often, for fear of suffocation.
In a closed desperate situation, if there is a light that can give people the confidence and hope to support it, the rescuers above decided to wait for the new snake eyes to arrive, and try to find a way to send them a few small flashlights.
I learned from the hotel staff that this place was originally the banquet hall on the first floor, which was the bottom of the entire ruins! According to the situation that there would be no heavy machinery to help, if you want to open a life passage by manpower alone, even if you rescue it day and night, it will be at least two or three days!
Dig for your life!
Heavy rain poured on the miners, and the miners worked in groups of several people to dig at three points: the strong "Satan" spent a lot of time searching the entire ruins, and found no trace of other "hidden ones", which made the Baguio City Hall personnel squatting here very frustrated!
There were at least hundreds of people buried here, but there were only three traces of survivors, and even if there were thirty or forty people in one place, they were still depressed.
As more than a day passed, the casualty statistics from all over the city became larger and larger, especially at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on the other side of the city, where three people had been rescued since last night!
The two search and rescue dogs that were still there did not react to finding a living person, and they could only hope that there were survivors buried too deep, and the big fish interfered with the sense of smell and hearing of the search and rescue dogs.
Hopefully, something is better than nothing.
However, the bad news from Hyatt's side is that when the two search and rescue dogs and "Snake Eye" have determined that there are unlikely survivors in the east area, the excavator and the pickaxe are used to clear the rubble on one side while "advancing one by one" manual judgment.
Now the location of the casino in the main building of the hotel has been dug up: so far, more than 20 bodies have been found!
According to the judgment of the rescue team, the chances of surviving the occupants who were originally in the casino are almost zero!
There are few survivors on Hyatt's side, and if the Park Hotel is in a similar situation, then Baguio will really be "famous" all over the world!
The two five-star hotels have become a "mass grave" for foreign tourists, which is a blow to the tourist city of Baguio......
It's almost fatal!
Don't dare to continue thinking about it.
The old mayor also came, and after listening to the report of the attaché, he was speechless for a long time, and then he was forced to rest: he had not closed his eyes for more than 30 hours at a very old age.
The old gentleman couldn't help here, so he chose the trapped woman who might have the lowest difficulty in rescuing, and Sanchez estimated that it would take at least four or five hours to dig people out!
