Eight-year-old girl pulled alive from Taiwan quake rubble
An eight-year-old girl was pulled alive from the rubble of an
apartment complex in Taiwan Monday, more than 60 hours after it was
felled by a powerful earthquake. Rescuers freed two other
survivors earlier in the day as they raced against time to find more
than 100 residents buried deep in the ruins.
Earthquakes frequently
rattle Taiwan, but most are minor and cause little or no damage.
However, a magnitude-7.6 quake in central Taiwan in 1999 killed more
than 2 300 people.
