The first 72 hours following an earthquake are considered the "golden time" for rescuing people.

Though five days have passed since the massive earthquake in Haiti, it seems miracles do happen as international rescue teams continue to pull people alive from the rubble.

Searchers have now covered 60 percent of the areas devastated by the earthquake in Haiti. More than 70 people have been pulled alive from the rubble. Rescue teams are still probing the debris of collapsed buildings in Port-au-Prince -- it's a race against time.

US and Turkish rescuers freed three people from the remains of a five-story supermarket early on Sunday. They were an American woman, a seven-year-old Haitian girl and a Haitian man.

Colombian rescuers brought out the co-owner of the Montana Hotel gingerly on a stretcher. Nadine Cardoza-Reidl had been buried for ninety-seven hours.

The rescue work is dangerous, as aftershocks still rock the capital. People in Haiti awoke to an aftershock at around three-forty Sunday morning. The US Geological Survey has detected at least 14 aftershocks registering five or higher on the Richter Scale since Tuesday.

But despite the danger, teams from around the world continue searching and aid workers strive to distribute relief materials.
