56hours after the quake, still no news for letting foreign support in. Head of the government say that they'd like to receive helps, but still no news.
saw tv news just now, soldiers calling loudly:"any body alive?", then they started digging when someone answers.
I think they need more life detector and detective dogs for help, if someone knows how to help them with that, please try to talk with your local red cross guy


soldiers take on board with poor tools

I would be happy to tell you Why there is still no foreign aid in: 1)No need. The road has not been cleared through, we have sent enough amount of persons to manage this disaster, if we need medical care afterwards we would be happy of outside aid. Believe in PLA, OK? We have undergone the 1998 flood and the recent snorm disaster, we know how to act and how to act effiently. About their helicopters, do you understand that it is extremely hard for a helicopter to locate itself in such a kind of environment? The sea wind is very directional, yet it is not the case in the mountain areas, which changes at any time. The helicopter is not so omnipotent as depicted in hollywood film. If they send the superman, that is the mostly welcome;) 2)Poor tools? We are using M-8 military helicopters and airborne landing techniques, with Wain's global system(GPS of China) to communicate with those conduct rescue. You called this poor tools? China military rescue has been instant and efficient. If you have no trust on the government, DO believe in the PLA. They are the most beautiful persons across this country. Salute them.
