Two survivors, three bodies pulled from collapsed Cambodia building
Two men were pulled alive from the rubble of a collapsed Cambodian building on Monday, more than two days after a construction site accident that left at least 28 dead.
Hopes that more survivors would be found under the debris had all but faded, but against the odds two people were cut free from the tangled wreckage and carried out alive.
"I heard the sound of rescuers, I called for help but they didn't hear me," Ros Sitha, one of the two found alive on Monday, told AFP.
"There was a dead body near me. I didn't have water to drink," the forty-one year old said from his hospital bed.
"I am so lucky to survive."
Sitha's wife earlier told AFP she had "no hope" her husband and nephew would be found alive. The two men said they are both bruised and weak but have no serious injuries.
The seven-storey Chinese-owned building folded in on itself before dawn on Saturday as scores of workers slept within the under-construction building in Sihanoukville.
