Your tools are very similar to ours. My heavy rescue truck even has a few of the paratech air bags and rescue struts. Our hydraulic tools come from the Hurst company and are commonly referred to by American firefighters as “The Jaws of life"

I feel very helpless having a truck full of the tools you so desperately need and being too far away to help.

The situation is much worse than I thought.
Tens of southands are suffering. I can not help being crying.
However, we are trying our best. My school start raising money in the midnight of yesterday. The soldiers are trying to get there at any cost ( by helicopter, by boat, or even on foot. all of these ways extremely dangerous).
I appreciate your concerns and thank you all for the help as a Chinese student. Let’s pray for those who are killed or injuried.

Species8472, I'm an American, living in the United States. I know what you mean, though. I'm praying that the rescue teams in China have access to this type of equipment.

I copied those photos of rescue equipment from an Emergency Rescue conference which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier this year. Last year I attended a rescue demonstration where firemen demonstrated one of the lifts. When it was deflated, it looked like a simple rubber mat. When inflated, it was capable of lifting many tons, enough for a rescue in a collapsed building.
