Chinese rescue teams are leveraging cutting-edge tech to save lives in central Myanmar after a devastating magnitude-7.9 earthquake struck last Friday. With over 2,800 fatalities and hundreds still missing, the clock is ticking ⏳.
At Mandalay City’s collapsed Sky Villa apartments, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) team deployed drones and life detectors to locate survivors. Meanwhile, the China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) used snake-eye detectors to visually confirm trapped individuals, rescuing three survivors this week. 🚁🔍
‘Our tools—from concrete breakers to real-time video feeds—help us dig deeper and faster,’ said CISAR squad leader Bi Hongyi. Collaboration between teams is key to maximizing efficiency.
A game-changer? CISAR’s all-in-one earthquake response vehicle, equipped with power, lighting, medical aid, and detection systems. ‘This vehicle cuts downtime and lets us focus on saving lives,’ explained CISAR captain Han Zhenze. 🚚💡
