Earthquake Survivor Rescued After 2 Weeks Beneath Rubble
--------------------------------------------------------



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 Mc
Pherson.

Capt. Jim Mc Pherson: “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.”
