Haitian Survivor, mostly uninjured, is rescued from rubble after 11 days

I think authorities need to scrap the "can't survive more than three days" mantra heard so often after these natural disasters, as now this man survived in a crevice of rubble and destruction down in a Haitian hotel without water amazingly enough.


Hopefully there are still more of these stories in the next couple days nearing 2 weeks after the tragedy. 
I've also blogged about 2 kids saved, one 5 days here and one 7 here.


- CNN.com: "Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- French rescue workers pulled a 24-year-old man alive from the rubble of a hotel in Haiti on Saturday, 11 days after an earthquake devastated much of the country.

Wismond Jean-Pierre, who had no visible injuries but was severely dehydrated, was immediately loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital for treatment.

One member of the French team called the three-hour effort 'a miracle' as he was briefly overcome with emotion. Other members of the team -- assisted by American and Greek workers -- were seen weeping with joy after the rescue.

'This is God,' the chief of the French rescue team said as he pointed to the sky."  continued
