7.5 days later. His uncle found him in a void space while digging through the rubble of their home. His mother and father died, but he's alive.
WOW. That's an incredible survival story.

Unfortunately, removing them from the rubble is only half the battle.

5. Insane, huh? Can't even imagine that. He's been under rubble for over a week. Hard to fathom. |
