Woman in her 90s pulled alive from rubble 124 hours after Japan quake
The elderly woman was found amid the ruins of a two-story house five days after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck central Japan.
An elderly woman in her 90s has been rescued from under the rubble of a two-story house more than five days after a powerful earthquake struck Japan.
Rescuers found the woman in Suzu City in Ishikawa prefecture on Saturday evening – 124 hours after the quake struck – and took her to a nearby hospital, according to Japan’s public broadcaster NHK.
On Sunday, a doctor told reporters that the woman is well enough to have conversations, but her legs are injured.
Kume Takanori, a member of the emergency rescue team, told NHK that the woman’s knees had been stuck under furniture within a very narrow space between the first and second floor. It took hours to free her, Takanori said.
