...run[ning] out of time to find survivors four days after the accident.
...
...there were still more than 150 people unaccounted for...Officials continued to say Sunday morning that they remain hopeful in their search for survivors...
Unbelievable.
...
The search has been painstakingly slow, hampered at times by smoke from a fire beneath the rubble...
You are the Miami-Dade FIRE-RESCUE Department. You can't put out a fire and you haven't rescued anybody since Thursday.
Erika Benitez, the spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said that rescuers are moving as fast as they can and have not stopped working, even though their work looks slow. Rescue workers are taking a strategic approach, officials added, taking care to not shift the rubble, put excessive weight on it or cause another collapse.
Strategic approach, my ass. McClellan had a strategic approach during the Civil War, too: don't fight; He never had enough soldiers, always thought the enemy outnumbered him; too much danger in attacking; "hampered" by everything, oh, the obstacles. Like Francisco Schettino, the Costa Concordia "captain." "Do you realize it's dark out there?"
“Moving something that could cause an additional collapse would be negligent,” Ms. Benitez said in Spanish.
Bingo! The Miami-Dade Negligence-Avoidance Department. They are concerned about everything----their own safety, their own liability, the weather--except other people. It is beyond negligence, Benitez, for your department to dangle false hope in front of the noses of loved ones while you check with you legal department on liability.
The mission of search and rescue teams remains to look for survivors, but because of the magnitude of the disaster, Ms. Benitez said more deaths are inevitable.
“It takes a toll to work days on end and not find any life,” said Margarita Castro, a member of Florida’s Task Force 1 at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The "toll" on rescuers! Castro, you callous bitch, what about the toll on victims' loved ones? You are disgraceful--you, Benitez, Levine Cava, you're disgraceful.

The top priority of every agency on the ground remains the search and rescue operation and saving all the lives we can — with our teams working around the clock.
They have failed in saving lives. Since they pulled one boy from the debris Thursday they have saved no lives. They have recovered nine dead.
