State television announced that one person was rescued alive Monday (2) from the rubble of a building that collapsed on Friday in China, but hopes of finding more survivors were slim.
An eight-story building containing a movie theater, hotel and apartments collapsed in the central Chinese city of Changsha on Friday, for reasons still unknown.
This Monday, state channel CCTV showed footage of a person wrapped in a white blanket on a stretcher, surrounded by members of emergency crews, before being transported to a hospital.
The network did not provide information on the status of the eighth person found.
After the accident, 15 people remained under the rubble and 39 people could not be found.
It is unclear whether authorities think the unreachable persons may be under the rubble.
On Sunday, rescuers found a seventh person more than 50 hours after the collapse.
Authorities have so far not commented on the causes of the disaster.
Nine people were arrested on Sunday, including the property owner.
According to the official Inhuma agency, counterfeiting is suspected in a security review.
