I think the human body can go four days without water. Longer without food but water is the biggest early hurdle for an otherwise uninjured human. ...Based upon my limited knowdge.

I'd say you are right about the water. It takes bout 18-24 days to starve to death if you get some water, but lasting a week without liquids is difficult. -Tom

Three MINUTES without air.
Three DAYS without water.
Three WEEKS without food.

Take your pick! ;)

My prayer is that those who are still missing ARE dead. Being trapped under rubble would be a living nightmare for me.

Also - praying for a miracle!
