Trapped Beneath the Rubble
Darlene Etienne's miraculous rescue from Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake and the faith that kept her alive The story of Darlene Etienne's survival for seventeen days beneath the rubble of a collapsed building following the catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010, represents one of the most medically improbable survival stories ever documented, challenging everything doctors understand about how long humans can survive without water and food, and her rescue on January 29, long after search and rescue teams had given up hope of finding anyone else alive in the ruins, brought a moment of joy and wonder to a nation that had suffered unimaginable tragedy and loss. The earthquake killed an estimated two hundred and twenty thousand people, displaced over one million, and reduced much of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas to rubble, and in the chaos and devastation of the immediate aftermath, thousands of people were trapped under collapsed buildings, and international search and rescue teams worked frantically in the first days to pull survivors from the wreckage, but after about two weeks the official rescue operations were winding down because conventional wisdom held that no one could survive longer than ten to twelve days without water, and any people still trapped were presumed dead.
