Man buried for 12 days is pulled out alive

STUNNED rescuers wrenched a survivor from the rubble after 12 days entombed in Haiti’s quake-ravaged capital, where desperate crowds clamoured yesterday for more and quicker relief.

Dehydrated, covered in dust and with a broken leg, the 31-year-old emerged alive from the ruins of a road in Port-au-Prince called the Rue de Miracles.

He was not buried by the 7.0-magnitude quake that struck on January 12 but two days later, according to the US military who rescued him, probably by one of the huge aftershocks common after such a disaster.
