Despite the odds, people are still being rescued from the rubble in Haiti. Yesterday 69-year-old Ena Zizi was extracted from the collapsed National Cathedral in Port-au-Prince. She told the AP: “I talked only to my boss, God. And I didn’t need any more humans.”
Javier Vázquez, who first reached Zizi, recalls, “I felt her grab my hand and squeeze. I felt as if God were squeezing my hand.” Vázquez is a member of Mexico’s Rescue Brigade, which formed after a powerful earthquake killed more than 10,000 in Mexico City in 1985. Some 52 search and rescue teams from around the world have rescued at least 90 people in Haiti.
