Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |
It's been over a week since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and the chances of finding survivors remains slim. But international rescuers including the Chinese team are continuing their efforts to look for even the slightest trace of life. After completing their mission at the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince, the Chinese rescuers have moved to other quake-ravaged regions.
The crew assembles for another mission to look for signs of life. After ensuring there were no survivors in the UN headquarter debris, Chinese rescuers head to Carrefour, one of the worst hit areas in the massive earthquake.
Facing rigorous working conditions and possible aftershocks, they reach the site of a collapsed mall. Ten people are buried inside. Seven days into the disaster, the Chinese team is the first to help.
