another horrifying story. Sorry if it has been discussed before
Heard on the news that a womans body had been found and the arms of this woman were crossed across her chest. Now she had been dead for quite some time and so rigor mortis had set in and she was stiff, so stiff that you couldnt move her arms.
What she had in her arms was her child who was still alive. The arms had to be cut off to free the child, horrific but happy at the same time as the child was saved.
There was also a four year old girl was found with her armed trapped, the father didnt let the recuers cut her arm off. They brought her out, five minutes later, the girl passed away as the foul blood recirculated in her body.
**ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) – Eight days after a powerful earthquake shook South Asia, Pakistani soldiers recovered four children – including two babies, one only 7 months old – from the rubble of their remote home in hard-hit Balakot. **
The bodies of their parents were also recovered in the mountain-top home on Sunday, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told CNN.
The soldiers, on rescue and relief operations in the region, heard the children’s voices and started digging through the toppled house.
On Saturday, authorities rescued a 10-year-old girl from a house in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, which was also hard hit by a 7.6-magnitude earthquake that killed thousands and left millions homeless.
Incredible but also very very sad when you start thinking about it. How many other people will be underground right now as we speak slowly dying away. It makes me go mad when I think about it
Incredible! Bitter sweet story, plenty of them going around...thank God they were able to save the child.
Very sad about the four yr old girl:(...but i'm sure the father was doing wot he thought was best at the time for his little girl...may Allah have mercy on all these victims and their families, Ameen.
