Earthquake Survivor Rescued After 2 Weeks Beneath Rubble

HeadlineJan 27, 2010

Meanwhile, a Haitian survivor was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building Tuesday. Covered in dust, the thirty-five-year-old survivor had been trapped for two weeks. Medical workers continue to treat injured Haitians at makeshift clinics. This is US Coast Guard Captain Jim McPherson.

Capt. Jim McPherson: “I can tell you that, talking to some of the doctors, this earthquake has brought some really horrific injuries, these crushing injuries, where it’s a lot of severely cut, broken arms and legs, and many times it’s so severe they have to go out and there’s many, many amputations.”
