Miracle:Woman found alive in Bangladesh factory collapse after 17 days in rubble
The woman is carried by rescuers to an ambulance on a stretcher
-----------------------
On April 24, a garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing more than 1,000 people.On Thursday, 17 days after the five-story building fell to the ground, a final survivor was discovered. Reshma Begum, a seamstress at Rana Plaza, was pulled from the rubble, after rescue crews heard her banging on a pipe.
An army sergeant who was involved in the rescue,said he heard the sound and rushed towards the spot.He knelt down and heard a faint voice. Sir, please help me!
Plaza was trapped between a fallen beam and a column and that somehow gave her some sort of pocketed protection and enabled her to survive for 17 days.
She was discovered in the wreckage of a Muslim prayer room in the building and army officials immediately gave her water & oxygen and rushed her to hospital.
No one heard me. It was so bad for me. I never dreamed I'd see the daylight again.There was some dried food around me. I ate the dried food for 15 days. The last two days I had nothing but water. I used to drink only a limited quantity of water to save it. I had some bottles of water around me, she said.
It is incredible that someone could have survived in the wreckage.she’d survived by scavenging for food in the rucksacks of dead colleagues.
On April 29, Sohel Rana, the owner of the Rana Plaza factory, was caught trying to flee the country. He is part of a group of factory owners that will be charged with “faulty construction and causing unlawful death.”
More than 2,500 people have been rescued in the immediate aftermath of the collapse. However, the death toll has now risen to more than 1,000.
The collapse is already the world's deadliest garment industry disaster and one of the worst industrial accidents.
Just imagine Begum spent more than 400 hours beneath the wreckage....what a miracle,praise the Lord!!
