"The search will continue until the victim is found,” he said. He declined to comment when asked about the possible condition of the woman, or the cause of the incident.

Terrifying. Hope they are okay

Did they really have to use the term “buried alive” when they don’t know the condition of the woman?

Now my Superman: The Movie PTSD is kicking in.

I wonder if urabn camouflage is appropriate attire for search and rescue services? Like, what if you (the searcher) get stuck, and no-one can find you 🤔

You know that meme where a guy in uniform was giving lessons to a few cobras? This is that uniform. He was a member of the Malaysian fire and rescue service.

He passed away a while back though, from, yup, cobra bites.
