When you read about survivors lasting that long under all that rubble it makes you have a big re-think about searches and when they should be called off.
As Cal just said...are there anymore ??????????

| Post subject: | Quake woman alive after 63 days |
A woman has been found alive 63 days after the south Asia earthquake. Naqsha Bibi, 40, was found under loads of rubble last weekend in what used to be her kitchen. It's thought she survived on rotten food and rainwater She weighed less than five stone - half the weight of an average woman - and was suffering from muscle stiffness. She is now being cared for in hospital. Relatives of Naqsha Bibi thought she had been killed when the quake struck the Kashmir area on 8 October. They assumed she had been swept away in a landslide or river, or had found shelter in a nearby refugee camp. Faiz Din, Ms Bibi's cousin who found her, said they were not even looking for Ms Bibi when they found her in the rubble of what used to be her house. "We first thought she was dead but she opened her eyes as we were pulling her out," said Faiz. Ms Bibi has now been put on a liquid diet and doctors say she is showing signs of recovery.

Absolutely staggering, I've heard of young kids surviving a long time but not adults. |

Usually it is younger, stronger people who survive - that's amazing. |
