We can bring more out alive' Thousands have died in the earthquake in Iran, but as a British rescue team goes in, there is optimism that lives can BE SAVED. Many countries such as the UK, Germany, China, Russia and Japan have sent rescue teams to the city they still hope survivors WILL BE FOUND. As they arrived, the medical and rescue workers WERE SURROUNDED by the queues of injured people. Their journey to the disaster zone HAD BEEN HAMPERED by difficult travelling conditions. 'We are still optimistic that we can bring more out alive,' said Graham Payne, the director of the and 60-strong British team. 'If anyone is trapped, there is a good chance they WILL BE FOUND.' On the first day, snake-eye cameras, hi-tech listening devices and carbon dioxide detectors WERE USED by the team to locate survivors.
