At least 11 people still alive under building collapse rubble, South African officials say | CBC News LoadedRescue teams searching for dozens of construction workers missing after an apartment complex collapsed in South Africa brought out more survivors Tuesday, as they entered a second night of desperate work to find anyone alive in the wreckage.
Rescuers were hopeful of more people being found alive after saying earlier that they had made contact with at least 11 workers trapped in the rubble and were communicating with them. A drone view of the scene of a building collapse where several construction workers are thought to be trapped in George, South Africa, is shown on Tuesday.
Deiner said a critical part of the rescue operation came when they had ordered everyone to remain quiet and shut off machinery so they could listen for any survivors."We were actually hearing people through the rubble," Deiner said. Authorities were starting investigations into what caused the tragedy, and a criminal case was opened by police, but there was no immediate information on why the building suddenly collapsed.
