Astonishing moment girl, 9, is pulled from Turkey earthquake rubble after 60 hours

This is the astonishing moment a nine-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble of her home in Turkey after 60 hours trapped there.

The girl was rescued from the 'Armageddon' of rubble-strewn Antakya yesterday morning, after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit on Monday. The video clip, which was filmed by British aid worker Atiqur Rahman, showed the pig-tailed youngster being passed from rescue worker to rescue worker as she was carried to safety.

The relieved workers clapped and smiled as the miracle unfolded. The girl's brother, 13, and her father were also rescued but her mother is yet to be found, the Mirror reports.
