Conversation: Dozens still trapped in collapsed Indonesian school NHK

A: Hey there! Heard anything interesting recently?
B: Not much, just the usual. But what's up with you?

A: Well, there was this unfortunate event in Indonesia. An Islamic boarding school collapsed on Monday, and it seems like 59 people might still be trapped inside.
B: Oh no! That sounds terrible! I hope everyone is okay. Did you hear anything about the families involved?

A: Yes, one of the missing student's grandma said she's been waiting for news and hopes her grandson is alive. It's really heartbreaking.
B: Absolutely... I can only imagine how they must be feeling. On Thursday, rescue crews started using heavy machinery at the site after getting families' approval.
A: That's because no signs of life were detected under the rubble, and they needed to act fast since the critical 72-hour window had already passed. Beyond that point, survival chances drop significantly.
B: Sadly, five people have died since the collapse, and many others were injured. I hope those still trapped can be found and rescued soon.
A: Same here! Let's keep our fingers crossed for them. That's all the news I have for now. Have a good day!
B: You too, take care! 😄
