Search goes on but hopes slim in Haiti collapse

---

PETIONVILLE, Haiti, Nov 10 (AP): Rescuers vowed to go on with their search for survivors at a collapsed Haitian school at least through early Monday, despite shrinking hopes amid the growing stench of dead bodies trapped beneath the rubble.
US, French and Haitian firefighters used sonar, cameras and dogs to scour the wreckage of College La Promesse for signs of life three days after it collapsed during a school party, killing about 90 students and adults and severely injuring 150 more.
"We have not abandoned the search. We are continuing searching and we are taking a lot of precautions," civil protection coordinator Nadia Lochard said.
But no indications of survivors have come from the rubble since four children were pulled out Saturday morning, said Daniel Vigee, head of a Martinique-based French rescue team. Rescuers are exploring every possible avenue, combing through spots where locals claimed to have heard voices or received cell phone calls from trapped survivors. None of those reports led to a rescue. Rescuers prepared late Sunday to rip down a two-story high concrete slab of roofing that has been hanging precariously since the collapse, in hope of opening up new areas to search and recover bodies. Firefighters flown in from Fairfax County, Va., by the US Agency for International Development had previously warned that removing the wall could be too dangerous to rescuers and any potential survivors.
