Another miracle,this one 14 days after big quake.He was only drinking water until early this morning when there was no more.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A man was pulled from rubble in Haiti's capital on Tuesday, two weeks after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake leveled much of the city, officials said.
Ricot Duprevil, 31, was in stable condition at a medical facility where he was being treated for a broken leg, medical and rescue officials told CNN. Duprevil had access to water while he was trapped, the officials said.
The man was discovered by the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division's Delta Company during a rubble-clearing mission in downtown Port-au-Prince.

Re: 7.0 in Haiti!!!
God!! that's some very good news, I can't believe he was alive that long, I can't imagine the suffering of being two weeks trapped and I can't imagine either the happiness of being rescued after all. It's amazing.

Re: 7.0 in Haiti!!!
Think of how many other survived the quake but just couldn't be rescued in time. Some may even still be alive down there. It's horrifying....I think I'd rather have just died from a building crushing me instantly.

How do you survive for half a month by drinking a little bit of Coca-Cola? Wouldn't that dehydrate you a little? It's not the same as drinking typical water. It's stunning that you can survive like that.

That could be the case but where and how did she get to the water?

It states in the article she was probably just "hours" from death.

If she was in or next to the bathroom, I'd guess it would be possible a pipe broke and she managed to access the water through the broken pipe.
