A body has been removed ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals from the the rubble of a collapsed mall in Elliot Lake, Ont. The province's Commissioner of Community Safety says a huge robotic arm was used to remove debris and clear the area for rescue workers.
The risky operation has faced a number of setbacks. It was called off on Monday when the fragile structure was deemed unsafe for rescue workers out of concern that a precariously balanced escalator might collapse on them.
But an outpouring of concern from the community prompted Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals to secure more resources for the rescue mission. He urged a Toronto rescue team to come up with an alternate plan to reach those stuck inside the wreckage.
Dan Hefkey, the Ontario ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals Commissioner ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals of Community Safety, said Wednesday the massive robotic machine that was shipped in from Toronto on Tuesday managed to pull the escalator away from the spot where victims may be and towards the building ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals exit.
A structural engineer ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals is on standby to assess the situation once the cranes have finished removing debris, said Hefkey. If he gives the green light, searchers and dogs will enter in hopes of pulling people out of the wreckage.
He said the operation is being conducted with "surgical precision" to create ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals what he called a "virtual bubble" to ensure no additional debris falls on a target ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals area about 10 metres by 25 metres that may contain victims.
Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Percy Jollymore said officers are keeping a list of people reported missing, but said the numbers change frequently as community members make contact with their loved ones.
"We are getting calls basically from all around Canada. We're really looking for people who could be in the mall," Jollymore said. "We still cannot determine how many people are there. We just don't know."
Rejean Aylwin is among those still waiting for answers. The former miner said he believes his daughter Lucie Aylwin ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals is inside and "it doesn't make sense" to give up before she and any others are found.
ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals "I thought it was important that we exercise ft lauderdale short term apartment rentals every option, explore every possibility," McGuinty said.
