MSNBC is reporting that a number of people are alive in a Haitian 5 story supermarket

A Turkish and an American rescue team have discovered pockets of live people, at least some are uninjured. They believe that they are about 4 hours from rescue.

1. Good news.

I hope they can rescue them before aftershocks or any other obstacles get in the way.

5. They were filming when an aftershock happened

The rescuers had to abandon the building temporarily, but are back to the rescue. You should see the pictures of how badly the building is damaged. I doubt that I would have the courage to do their job.

ON EDIT: I updated my OP for a pic and link to the video.

9. Assets and all that I will not be shocked if they get one or two

more teams in

10. Well, I suppose if one HAD to be trapped in a collapsed building

...a supermarket would probably be the best place you could be.

Assuming you weren't trapped in the non food aisle, of course.

I hope that the rescue crews can reach them.

16. Any news yet?

I haven't had a chance to turn on tv yet this evening.

[me b zola]

18. I haven't heard anything further

I'm not sure that what msnbc is showing now isn't a rebroadcast of their earlier coverage. We may not here anything until tomorrow.
