Man alive nearly 179 hours after quake

How many minutes would that be?

Now who counts "nearly 179 hours"? Wouldn't it more natural to say "a week after" or "a little over a week after"?

(BTW, it's 10,740 minutes.)

I know they’re overwhelmed, but the casual way the TV reporters and officials are just writing off the still-tapping people down in the rubble is just unbelievable to me.

Yu was rescued. . . . Rescuers then turned to Ma and sent sweetened water to him through a straw.

Yu-Ma arid zone, huh?

Human has great inside power.There are more miracle story happened in this disaster,some made us weepy.
I remember a woman smash her leg with stone to get blood to drink and self-cut her leg to get out when the rescue team found her and couldn't reach her for narrow space.There are many such self-cut leg tragedy happened

Just heard a pregnant woman rescued alive after 180 hours and right in her way to hospital the baby was born safely.

And many many such miracle......

I was deeply touched by the true love during this horrible catastrophe. I feel terribly sorry for those people suffered from it. I wish I could do something for them, more than what I am doing now.

There are lots of good deeds happened in this catastrophe that showed true love. Teachers saved their class but lost their lives. Grandma threw the baby out of the window at the life-threatening moment. Many soldiers tried their best to save people under the ruined walls or ceilings.

Seeing all these, everyone would come to tears.
This catastrophe caused a lot of homeless people, and a lot of injured people or even dead people. The wills and faiths of Chinese nation have experienced great challenge. But I believe, Chinese nation is a country that had ever faced a lot of challenges before, we will never surrender to death or any catastrophe, at this very moment, we need be united, stand together, face everything! We will finally have our success!

I wish all the best for the people in Sichuan. Hope they can go over this, and re-gain their courage and rebuild their homes.
God Bless China, God Bless Chinese people.
