00:00Rescue teams in Bangkok detected six body-like shapes under the rubble using scanners on
00:07Tuesday, days after a high-rise building collapsed during a powerful earthquake.
00:13Search and rescue efforts continued at the site, supported by multinational teams.
00:18The government said international and Thai experts are reassessing the operation to see
00:23how the rescuers can safely reach the detected forms.
00:27The scan has captured the shape of the body.
00:32So right now, our governor as well, he's inside, also deputy governor in the engineer side
00:37is actually consulting with the international experts and the Thailand expert team of, we
00:43might actually change some of the work over there, that we're trying to actually get into
00:48that.
00:49Because right now, we kind of confirmed that we find numbers of bodies inside.
00:54So that would be actually what we're going to do.
00:57The authorities said while the scanner picked up human-shaped figures, it could not tell
01:02if there was movement or vital signs.
01:04With survival chances fading after 72 hours, rescue teams also scaled the wreckage, with
01:10search dogs on standby to detect signs of life.

01:21in Thailand, including 13 from the site of the collapsed building.
