It is a delicate job. it is a difficult job. it is one they are determined to continue to do. the u.s. team, the l.a. county fire department, urban search and rescue team are among those engaged in this work. i spoke to the team leader chief dennis cross earlier. he said they are not giving up. listen here. >> there is a time frame. what it is it always varies. we will never stop searching. we don't give up hope until we have gone through that time frame and we feel there's no more survivability. we're not there yet. >> we all had a rude awakening -- awakening this morning when at 7:55 here in...
