QUAKE RESCUE HERO: Rescuer Crawls Into Rubble To Save Little Girl Trapped Under Building

This is the extraordinary heroic moment when a quake rescuer crawls into the unstable rubble to save a trapped young girl.

The girl – who looks around eight years old – was found alive beneath a collapsed building in southern Turkey.

In video footage of the rescue, the rescue worker can be seen stretching out into the depths of the rubble, which could have collapsed at any time.

Then the terrified-looking girl crawls forwards on her hands and knees into the arms of his colleagues.

Cuts and blood can be seen on her left cheek but she appears otherwise unharmed.
