Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |

 

Eleven days after the Haiti earthquake, a 24 year-old man has been rescued from the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Port-au-Prince.

Hopeful rescuers continue to pick through the ruins, though their focus has shifted to caring for the thousands living in squalid camps. Laurie Lew has more.

No one knows how he managed to cheat death for eleven days.

After a four-hour rescue operation, this man miraculously emerges from the rubble of a hotel in a downtown area of the capital.

He is the latest of 132 people that have been pulled alive from beneath collapsed buildings by international search and rescue teams.
