People throughout Lebanon observed a moment of silence Friday marking one month since the devastating Beirut explosion, while rescuers dug through the rubble of a building destroyed in the blast, hoping to find a survivor.
Rescue workers used cranes, shovels and their bare hands, searching meticulously after a pulsing signal was detected. Search operations first began Thursday after a dog used by the Chilean search and rescue team TOPOS detected something as it toured Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhail streets and rushed toward the rubble.
Whatever happens in #Beirut where rescue efforts enter Day 2, the Lebanese have found a new hero in Flash the Chilean rescue dog ??.Images of the black-and-white 5-year-old dog named Flash, wearing red shoes to protect its paws, circulated on social media. Amidst widespread applause, one woman acclaimed Flash with the greeting: "That is our president!".

The idea, however unlikely, that a survivor could be found after one month gave hope to people who followed the live images on television, wishing for a miracle.

A Chilean search and rescue team in Beirut say they have detected a possible heartbeat of a body under the rubble of a building destroyed by the August 4 blast. If true, then that would mean that the person would have been stuck under the wreckage, alive, for 29 whole days. pic.twitter.com/uLWIq5ociA"Ninety-nine per cent there isn't anything, but even if there is less than 1 per cent hope, we should keep on looking," Youssef Malah, a civil defence worker, said Thursday.
