  • @ae1503 That's not true.. In rescue they do also triage (sorting out the priority) but in this case not all the victim that they've been search alive cannot done quikly as you think.. There were factors that prevent the rescue from pulling the victim immediately example is the crushing symdrome that can poison the blood of the patient when immediately remove from the rubles (the patient has broken femur / leg)

  • massive respect for the search and rescue teams. feel sorry for japan. watching these videos make me realize how precious life is. i would love to join a search and rescue team and help out anyway i could.

  • thank you task force 1, and all the other teams assisting in the efforts to help japan
