STORYLINE
Rescuers in Indonesia continued their search for survivors trapped under rubble on Saturday after a massive earthquake killed at least 715 people, left nearly 3-thousand people missing and destroyed more than 20-thousand houses.
At the site of Ambacang Hotel in the regional capital Padang, an earthquake survivor trapped beneath the rubble sent a text message saying he and some others were alive, triggering a frantic search and rescue operation.
Padang's police chief said voices and claps were heard from survivors buried in the Ambacang Hotel since Wednesday's 7.6-magnitude quake.
He said one survivor - who had been staying in Room 338 - sent a text message to relatives Friday, saying he and some others were still alive.
But hopes faded on Saturday as sniffer dogs failed to detect life.
As he spoke, rescuers used diggers and drills to try and break a passage through thick slabs of concrete of the six-storey hotel.
Australian tourist Eric Van Druten said he believed his friend to be trapped inside the collapsed building.
Another man waited anxiously nearby and said that he last heard from his wife as she went up to her hotel room shortly before the quake struck.
Swiss and Japanese rescue teams searched the rubble but reported no success in finding survivors.
The quake devastated more than 60 miles (100 kilometres) along the western coast of Sumatra island, prompting a huge international aid operation in a country that sits on a major geological fault zone and has dozens of quakes every year.
More than 2,400 people have been hospitalised, said a spokesman for the national disaster agency.
Block after block of toppled hotels, hospitals, office buildings and schools had yet to be searched in Padang, a port city of 900-thousand.
Military and commercial planes shuttled in tons of emergency supplies.
