Beirut explosion: Search continues for possible survivor - Flaze News

 

Aid workers in Beirut are continuing to search through the debris for a possible survivors of a month-long blast that destroyed the city.
Search efforts found possible signs of life after expert sensor equipment, spores hopes for a miracle.
The rescuer said he could not confirm that the search could not be completed if someone lived under the building.
A minute's silence was held on the month after the Beirut blast, in which about 200 people were killed.
The explosion injured thousands, which occurred when 2,750 tons of ammonium was blown off the night.
How long can you survive under the previous cover?
There has been anger that a warehouse in the city's harbor was safely secured, near many such residential areas.
Shortly after the Lebanese government resigned, the protesters failed to stop, which had been in clashes with police for several nights in the city.
According to Lebanese authorities, seven people are still missing in one month.
What's going on with search?
The search efforts were launched after the Chile rescue team said it had detected possible signs of life under a destroyed building in the Gameiza area of Beirut.
The rescuers were walking through the area Wednesday night when their dog was given a sign to train the dog- which had a man inside. When they returned on Thursday, the dogs went to the same place and gave the same sign. Expert sensor equipment then detected a polding signal in the area.
According to a local source, the team's highly sensitive equipment can detect breathing at a depth of 15 million (49ft).
Chile and Lebanon are working together to clean up the debris from the site, as people see the crowd, hoping for a miracle.




Rescue coordinator Nicholas Saade told AFP on Friday that the pulse had slowed significantly since the previous day.
"It showed low beat/respiration levels of seven per minute. The reading before was about 16 to 18," he said.
A test later on Friday detected no signals, according to reporters at the scene.
Speaking to the press on Friday, the head of the Chilean rescue team said he could not confirm if someone was alive or dead in the rubble until the work was completed.
Francisco Lermanda said rescuers have dug three tunnels to try to reach the site where the pulse signals were detected, EFE news agency reports.
Rescue workers have previously said there may also be a dead body under the rubble of the building.
"We have excavated rubble but we haven't reached a conclusion yet," George Abou Moussa of Lebanon's civil defence told AFP earlier on Friday.
Rescue workers said they would continue the search into the evening and offer more details later.
