ELLIOT LAKE: Rescue Efforts

Residents Dept: ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. - Hundreds of residents gathered outside a mall in Elliot Lake, Ont., where the roof caved in let out deafening screams and whistles at news Monday night that rescue efforts were being resumed after an appeal from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Residents had protested in front of city hall after the decision to abandon the search was announced, saying it was too soon to call off the effort, and there was talk of people going in themselves and local residents react to the news that authorities have called off a rescue bid for any survivors at the site of the collapsed roof of the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake, Ontario, on Monday June 25, 2012 as the site is deemed too dangerous. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young Members of the crowd said they wanted to let any possible survivors trapped inside know that help would be on the way, although some said they're cautious after an emotional rollercoaster ride that saw the rescue efforts halted because it was deemed too dangerous, and then restarted again within hours.
