Yesterday, a woman was pulled from the rubble 16 days after the Rana Complex high rise collapsed in Bangladesh. Seamstress Reshman Begum is married and has one son. She was buried in a mosque in the building's basement.
While in the hospital, Reshman Begum told TV station Somoy "I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days. I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention. No one heard me. It was so bad for me. I never dreamed I'd see the daylight again."
She said that she survived on dry food. "There was some dried food around me. I ate the dried food for 15 days. The last two days I had nothing but water. I used to drink only a limited quantity of water to save it. I had some bottles of water around me." Read more at www.cnn.com
