(CNN) — A frightened seventh-grade girl was pulled safely from the rubble of a school dormitory Wednesday evening — 50 hours after she was buried by Monday’s earthquake, state-run media said. In a weak voice, the trapped girl called out to one of the rescuers, “uncle, save me, save me,” he said. “If anything (bad) had happened to her, the voice could haunt me for the rest of my life.” Wang Guangfen, a nurse, climbed under a cement slab to give the girl, He Cuiqing, medicine, while other rescuers carefully moved slabs until they could remove the girl. The girl was among 89 children pulled alive from the rubble of Muyu Middle School in Sichuan province. At least 201 students were killed when the building collapsed while many were napping, according to China.org. More than 100 children escaped from the school in Qingchuan County, and rescuers were searching for an unspecified number still believed to be trapped. |
