She may have reserves of water or have drunk some of the water that we've pumped into the building," fire chief Ahmed Ali said. The woman, wearing a violet dress, was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. The rescue came shortly after emergency officials announced that she had been found under the rubble of the nine-storey Rana Plaza complex after crying out for help, 17 days after the disaster on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka. One of the rescuers said the woman had cried out for help as recovery teams sifted through the wreckage. Since then she has been talking to us. Army officials ordered workers to stop clearing the site with bulldozers and cranes as they tried to free the woman. Rescuers used a handsaw as well as welding and drilling equipment to cut through the iron rod and debris trapping her.
