China makes public plea for quake-related rescue equipment
2008-05-15 12:33:28
BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) — The Ministry of Industry and Information made an urgent public call on Thursday for rescue equipment to aid the work in quake regions.
It listed 31 types of equipment, ranging from hammers, shovels and demolition tools to cranes, rubber boats and life detectors. The amount needed varied between several hundred and 50,000.
Many armed police and rescue workers had to remove cement slabs with their bare hands to save quake victims, news footage has shown.

It said 15 parachutists were sent there and all are in contact now.But for the difficult envirment no more are sent after that.
Thanks...
I’ll be back in about 30 minutes are so.
err...maybe I misunderstand your meaning.I put a tag within,seems not work.
I think I'd better use the link html code form now on. thanks again.
It is hard to mobilize help in heavy rain, and with mountain roads blocked by landslides. There have been criticisms about slowness of Chinese Gov to accept outside offers of help. I recall when we had our Katrina disaster, several European countries offered help, and we were very inefficient about accepting it. Of course, our whole response to Katrina was pretty inefficient, never mind utilizing outside aid.
leave tag off completely
you will get it
Thanks for the different perspective. It seems there are two views on some of this. That’s okay.
You take care.

Please...
It would be polite if you would post just post a link to pictures that show dead children and dead people in it and leave a warning that the “picture link” contains graphic images of dead children or people.
This is how we normally do things around here as some people get very emotionally upset seeing these types of pictures directly within a thread.
it would be done like this... (then people who wish to look at them can click the link instead of being forced to look at it because it pops up in the post)

Thank you
I don’t want to upset you or anyone by bringing this up, but I know you are new here and you did not know until I said something to you about it.
I have seen the destruction and loss of life as I have tried to understand the scope of this damage on-line, you are right and wrong. It would be wise to avail the link but by virtue of opening the thread it will subject you to disturbing pictures.
