Rescue of Man Trapped in Collapsed Mall in Venezuela
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Rescue teams in La Guaira, Venezuela, have located a 43-year-old security guard, Hernán Gil, trapped in the basement of a collapsed shopping mall. Using a technique of calling and listening, rescuers from the Costa Rican Red Cross were able to provide him with water after several hours. Gil has been without food for five days but is conscious and not pinned under debris. The final extraction process is risky and may take several more hours due to ongoing falling debris. Rescuers have been working for over 29 hours, receiving support from teams from Colombia, Mexico, Chile, the U.S., and Venezuela.
