🇲🇽Mexico Crews Race to Save Girl Trapped in 🏫School Rubble

Rescue crews working in silence raced Wednesday to remove a girl trapped in the rubble of a collapsed elementary school in Mexico City.

Volunteers converged upon the scene, ready to offer supplies -- medicine, neck braces, blankets -- or a helping hand as soon as rescuers called out for assistance.

Inside the secured area, the girl's family waited as members of the Mexican navy and marines, the Red Cross and a professional rescue team called Los Topos painstakingly worked to reach the girl.

Throughout the day, they periodically held up their fists and gestured for silence so they could listen for signs of life -- a signal that extended a veil of calm over an otherwise chaotic scene.

At least 25 people -- 21 children and four adults -- were confirmed dead at the school, Luis Felipe Puente of the Ministry of the Interior's Civil Protection unit said earlier Wednesday.
