I’ve been watching the footage on the news for the past three days, and the rescue workers seem to be taking their time.
Shouldn’t they be working as quickly as possible with the maximum amount of manpower available?
Three days in means anyone who was simply injured and trapped under the rubble is now likely gone. This is so frustrating to see this take so long to resolve.
– No one’s bothered to get cameras set up in surrounding buildings to show the LIVE rescue efforts.
– All the video that is available shows at most one group of workers at a time surveying the site. But in all three days, no one’s begun removing the debris.
– I expect to see hundreds of professionals gathered, moving the concrete pieces by hand if need be. And potential volunteers at the perimeter offering food and water so the efforts can continue round the clock. So far nothing is happening!

They can’t move fast. If they move fast they risk moving rubble and possibly killing a survivor that’s trapped in a pocket. People have been found alive in rubble up to 3 weeks later.
There is also a fire under the rubble that they have to be careful of.
Setting up cameras for a live rescue is never done. It’s disrespectful to the families and there are more important things to do. Rescuers try to keep body recoveries private.
