A woman buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued this Friday. She survived in a Muslim prayer room in the basement of the eight-story Rana Plaza building. Crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors. More than 2,500 people were rescued in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. However, no survivors had been found in the wreckage since April 28th. When she was finally exposed by heavy equipment, she waved a pipe to attract attention. The women, Reshma, was given water, oxygen, and saline while they were trying to get her out. She was promptly rushed to a military hospital. This miracle had many religious implications also given that she was found in a Muslim prayer room on the Islamic holy day.
This really is a true miracle and I am hoping for her true recovery. I am curious though if there was water that she could get to because it was not mentioned.
