[QUOTE]Originally posted by Inspector Barnaby: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] Alison, have you been trying to get closer to the area?? The news still say 18 to 31 victims so far (reports vary), there was no update since last night. But there must be way more people still underneath the rubble.[QUOTE] No I think folk should stay away and let the rescue people get on with it without any hassle. I heard a guy from Kefaya on the news talking and he said that some of the villagers actually killed a few people who were alive under the rubble. He said they pushed past the police and started to move stones and rubble off the area where they thought their family was, only to throw them on the adjacent pile of rubble causing it to collapse and kill the few people who were shouting and alive in that part!! :( He said that there was a housing development not far away called the Suzanne Mubarak Housing Dev, and months ago the people were told to leave and go to new homes there, because of the dangers of landslide. Only a few famlies moved, and he said even some of them returned after a few weeks. So far the confirmed dead is 31 and the PM Nawaz was visiting some of the injured, mainly kids in hospital. They showed that on the news. If they do it right they should be able to save quite a few who have survived the initial landslide as long as they take their time and do it expertly. Folk can survive quite a long time in rubble with no food and water as we have seen already. The bulldozers are there and clearing the way for the cranes. The people need to move and let them get on with it and if that means 'frogmarching' them out then so be it. God help the folk underneath all that :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
