A Turkish rescue crew, was amazed to find a 2 week old baby, and her mother still alive, after a 7.2 magnitude earth quake had hit and collapsed the whole building they were in. They had sent the smallest of the rescue crew, to go into the building and see if there were any survivors. They sent the smallest, because he was agile and small enough to fit through the tight spaces. Amazingly, he found a 2 week old baby, and her semi-conscience mother under the rubble. There was nothing heard of the girls father, as he could still have been in the building.
The officials in Turkey, had said that 432 people died, and over 1000 injured.
I think its amazing that the rescue crew in Turkey had saved two lives. It is, although, unfortunate that so many people got either injured or died. It is sad, that the people of Turkey have suffered such a terrible dilemma, and have to call upon the aid of other countries to help them solve it.So many buildings crashed, and many lives were lost. I personally, will send a donation to help the people of Turkey rebuild.
