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.
