PETIONVILLE, Haiti — U.S., French and Haitian firefighters used sonar, cameras and dogs Monday in the search for victims at a collapsed Haitian school, but they no longer expected to find anyone else alive.
Three days after the concrete building suddenly collapsed during a children’s party, killing at least 94 students and adults and severely injuring 150 more, Capt. Michael Istvan of Fairfax County, Va., said the chance of finding more survivors was remote. He also said the death toll won’t likely go much higher.
Several bodies were pulled out Monday, caked in concrete dust, and radar and cameras located several more.
But there have been no indications of survivors since the last children were pulled from the wreckage Saturday morning, said Daniel Vigee, head of a Martinique-based French rescue team.
It was unclear how many people were in the building when it fell, though the school is believed to have had about 500 students.
