Australian TV Crew Rescue Baby From Rubble




An australian TV crew helps rescue a baby girl trapped under rubble for days after the massive quake that has killed thousands.


The 16-month-old girl, called Winnie Tilin, was rescued from the rubble of a house in Haiti on Friday nearly three days after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the country.


Winnie appeared to be healthy after her ordeal.


According to AFP, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said the powerful quake was initially measured at 7.3 and struck 16 kilometers (ten miles) from the capital Port-au-Prince, and 27 kilometers (17 miles) from Petionville.


The earthquake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), the USGS said.


It is hard still to estimate the approximative number of victms and damages, although most of reporters talk about hundreds of thousands of victims.
