Girl ‘last’ miracle of China quake

Earthquake rescue workers have incredibly pulled a 13-year-old girl from a collapsed building in China.

The girl spent more than two days trapped in the rubble in Qinghai Province, and is one of the last survivors likely to be found.

The teen, identified by the British Daily Express as Tsertra Lhamo, suffered only an ankle injury, but would soon have succumbed to dehydration had sniffer dogs not located her on Saturday, the paper said. It took four hours to unearth her.

The quake struck western China early last Wednesday morning, killing at least 1,700.
