Three people were rescued Sunday from the rubble of a grocery store, officials told CNN, and American and Turkish rescuers were "very close" to reaching two others, despite experiencing a dangerous setback.The Caribbean Supermarket was housed in a three-story building, which collapsed in Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude earthquake. A joint New York fire and police department search and rescue team, as well as a team from Miami, Florida, and a Turkish team, was working to free those trapped in the ruins.A man and a teenage girl were found alive by the New York team earlier Sunday, according to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. Both were taken to a U.N. hospital at Port-au-Prince's airport, where the girl, about 13, was treated for leg injuries and the man treated for undetermined injuries. They are believed to be Haitian nationals.
It's hard to glance at the tv or listen to the radio without hearing about Haiti, it actially might be impossible. This earthquake stopped all other news in its tracks and is everywhere. It is hard to hear the stories coming from the disaster such as this one were people's lives are still at stake and everyone is in survival mode. It is great that people and rescue teams are still there trying to help all of the people suffering.
