Rescuers detected “no more signs of life” under the rubble of a collapsed Indonesian school where 59 people remain missing, an official said Thursday (Oct 2), raising fears that no more survivors would be found.
“We used high-tech equipment like thermal drones, and, scientifically, there were no more signs of life,” said Suharyanto, the head of the country’s disaster mitigation agency, during a press briefing at the site of Monday’s collapse in eastern Java.
Rescuers had been racing against time to extricate those trapped.
Rescuers found no signs of life on Thursday after calling out the names of the victims and using motion detectors and scanners to track movements or vital signs, search and rescue agency official Emi Freezer told Reuters.
In signature orange uniform, rescuers crawled through narrow tunnels to find students trapped under rubble, according to photos distributed by the agency.
