Rescuers say it will be a long, slow process as they continue the work to recover any additional bodies from the wreck of a fire in Old Montreal last week. Six people are still missing as of Tuesday morning. The body of one victim, a woman, was extracted on Sunday.
Rescuers say it will be a long, slow process as they continue the work to recover any additional bodies from the wreck of a fire in Old Montreal last week.
Victims will need to be identified through at least one scientific method, such as dental records or DNA. "The work allowed us to confirm the instability of the building as well as the work plan we will we implement today," said fire operations chief Martin Guilbault."No one's going to march or go inside the building," Guilbault explained."Failure is not an option. So we have to take our time to make sure we do the right thing."
"They ask me lots of things, but once I try to ask them anything about what's happening, like for example why they are so sure only six people are missing, the only answer I get is, 'Oh, it’s under investigation,'" said Yuken Zeng, a friend of one of the missing people, An Wu. Zeng flew to Montreal on Monday looking for answers about his friend.
