Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

The first 72 hours following an earthquake are considered the "golden time" for rescuing people.

Though five days have passed since the massive earthquake in Haiti, it seems miracles do happen as international rescue teams continue to pull people alive from the rubble.

Searchers have now covered 60 percent of the areas devastated by the earthquake in Haiti. More than 70 people have been pulled alive from the rubble. Rescue teams are still probing the debris of collapsed buildings in Port-au-Prince -- it's a race against time.

US and Turkish rescuers freed three people from the remains of a five-story supermarket early on Sunday. They were an American woman, a seven-year-old Haitian girl and a Haitian man.
