Why does it feel like the Florida rescue efforts are taking forever?

458 views

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!

In regards to the video feed, unless you have people in there. Why do you want to wallow in other people’s misery?

And as for the rescue, this isn’t a movie, it takes time to carefully get through such a massive amount of collapsed building without risking it all collapsing on any pocket that people might still be alive in.
