Meanwhile, it’s an agonizing wait for families at the reunification center at the Grand Beach Hotel as they desperately seek news about their loved ones who lived in the condo.
They’ve given DNA samples to help identify the bodies or remains found in the rubble.
Some want to go to the scene to help in the search, but that has been deemed too dangerous. Others just want to go there to be close to where rescuers are searching for their family or friends.
