According to Deputy Chairman Buu, the boy may have multiple injuries, trapped in a condition without ventilation assurance, food or drink so the prognosis is not positive.
At the current time, the solution is to reduce the adhesion friction to lift the concrete and then cut it from outside to continue the rescue work.
