It took 17 hours and several
firefighters to rescue a 10-year-old, Giulia, was from the rubble alive
today after an earthquake struck central Italy Wednesday.
According to ABC news, as rescue workers
raced to find survivors beneath the crumbled buildings in the town of
Pescara del Tronto, about 100 miles northeast of Rome, they spotted
Giulia’s legs and carefully removed wreckage around the trapped girl to
get her out this morning.
“You can hear something under here.
Quiet, quiet,” one rescue worker said, according to The Associated
Press, before urging her: “Come on, Giulia, come on, Giulia.”
Her last name has not been released and the extent of her injuries, if any, is unknown.
Giulia’s dramatic rescue was captured on
footage. The girl emerged caked with dirt and dust, and people clapped
and cheered as a firefighter carried her away from the flattened
building in one of the towns hit hardest by the powerful quake.
