‘Signs of life’ at site of school buried under mud
Sounds of scratching and a rhythmic tapping were picked up by seismic sensors and sound-detection gear brought in by US and Malaysian forces, said South Leyte Gov. Rosette Lerias. Generator-powered lights were set up to allow teams of rescue workers to dig through the sludge during the night.
"To me, that's more than enough reason to smile and be happy," Lerias said. "The adrenaline is high ... now that we have seen increasing signs of life."
