Amazing: afer 10 days a 22-year old has been rescued
Update | 5:22 p.m. A news release sent to reporters within the past hour by the Israel Defense Forces says that another survivor has been apparently rescued from a collapsed building in Port-au-Prince. The statement says:

After nearly 10 days, an Israeli Search and Rescue team saved a 22-year-old Haitian man from the ruins of a three-story building, near the presidential residence in the southern side of the city. The man was transferred to the IDF field hospital in stable condition and is currently receiving further medical care.

8. He actually has a good chance
he is stable and the IDF brought the meds needed for crush syndrome.

We are breaking records here.

13. "Crush syndrome," saying it gives me shivers.
But nothing fits my nightmares like the thought of lying trapped alone waiting to die.

4. Sorry, I don't get it
After 10 days trapped beneath rubble, I really wouldn't give a shit who got to me first, as long as I get the hell out of there alive.
