"... even as hundreds more people were feared still trapped amid the rubble."
Rescuers tunneling Friday into the rubble of the eight-story building that collapsed Wednesday discovered another 50 people trapped on what remained of its third floor.... Also Friday, two women who gave birth under the debris were rescued -- along with their infants....
Officials coordinating the operation have said the rescue efforts would end Saturday morning, when heavy equipment will be used to retrieve the remaining bodies and cart away the rubble.... The planned use of heavy equipment ignited protests from the people who crowded near the rescue site, many of them relatives who were showing pictures of the missing to whomever would pay attention and saying they did not believe 72 hours was long enough to wait.

Oh wow, people died in the 9th world toilet known as India? Who would know considering that the entire populace is nothing but fodder.
Well, it's a tricky call. Using heavy equipment means you may well kill someone with a backhoe bucket accidentally, which would be awful. But it also means you can clear away the rubble a million times faster and much more safely than having people climb into it to shift it brick by brick by hand.
Which means you may find more people fast enough for them to still be alive, and you will not risk the lives of rescuers and bystanders as much.
I can understand the wishes of family that want it shifted pebble by pebble as long as the remotest hope of finding a father or daughter remains, and to hell with the danger to anyone else. But the people in charge can't think that way, they need to make decisions that optimize results for everybody. I wouldn't be in their shoes for anything.

And in Randtopia, known as Texas.
Interesting nobody in the media wants to talk about West, TX or the explosion in Mobile.
Does this seem like an awful lot of boom in a short time?

The grammatical name is the CNN whom.
You know you're in a high birthrate country when even the people trapped in random collapsed buildings are still having babies.
So if its not a ferry capsizing its buildings collapsing.

Perhaps Planned Parenthood should set up some international franchises.
Choom would be only too happy to help.
""The news of survival and new life came as the 72-hour deadline to change the operation from rescue to recovery approached...""
So? It's not as if they have a population shortage there. Come on, you wogs, time is money and I want my cheap sneaks!
"Oh wow, people died in the 9th world toilet known as India?"
Bangladesh. Not India.
Garage: "And in Randtopia, known as Texas."
Shorter garage: Rand Paul is responsible (by name) for accidents that occur any place within the US that garage perceives as sufficiently "rand-like", but Obama is not responsible for anything that occurs as a direct result of his administrations actions.
Further, couldn't we just as easily say that the murder of babies born alive in Philadelphia and then butchered by Gosnell represent "garagetopia" and obamatopia?
Seems like a more reasonable standard (if getting as many as possible out alive is the goal) is 72 hours after the last live recovery.
72 hours after the accident is much too quick to give up.

The two are utterly synonymous to me.

That's because you're wrong.
