Two lives saved miraculously in Haiti

In an attempt to clear the rubble of a supermarket in Haiti, devastated from the earthquake, New York cops and firefighters rescued a young brother and sister who had been buried for seven days.

According to reports, the eight year old boy and the ten year old girl were found two stories under the flattened three-story building in Port-au-Prince. Immediately after being rescued, the two were treated for dehydration and were later reunited with their parents who had escaped the initial collapse.The brother-sister duo was the fifth and sixth victims found alive by the New York rescue team. Earlier in the day, the team had pulled out three lifeless bodies of the youngsters’ siblings from the wreckage.
