pulled from grocery store; rescuers 'very close' to 2 others
From Ivan Watson, CNN
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Man, woman and teenage girl rescued from rubble of grocery store; American included
* Rescuers "very close" two others trapped in grocery store
* Unstable concrete slab standing between rescuers, those who are trapped
* As of Sunday, 62 people have been rescued alive, according to U.S. official
Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Three people were rescued Sunday from the rubble of a grocery store, officials told CNN, and American and Turkish rescuers were "very close" to reaching two others, despite experiencing a dangerous setback.
The Caribbean Supermarket was housed in a three-story building, which collapsed in Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude earthquake. A joint New York fire and police department search and rescue team, as well as a team from Miami, Florida, and a Turkish team, was working to free those trapped in the ruins.
A man and a teenage girl were found alive by the New York team earlier Sunday, according to NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. Both were taken to a U.N. hospital at Port-au-Prince's airport, where the girl, about 13, was treated for leg injuries and the man treated for undetermined injuries. They are believed to be Haitian nationals, officials said.
A second adult, a 50-year-old American woman, was rescued a few hours later, said Capt. Joe Zahralban, leader of the Florida team.
By 6 p.m., rescue workers had gotten close enough to pass water to a Creole-speaking man and woman who are believed to be in good condition. Zahralban said he was able to shine a light in the small opening created by the rescue crews, and they responded that they were about 15 centimeters away from it.

The effort was dealt a temporary setback Sunday afternoon when the floor over rescuers' heads -- described as a concrete slab -- buckled as they were working in a 3-foot-high area, said Lt. Charles McDermott, spokesman for Florida Task Force 2. Debris rained down on the rescue workers as they ran outside of the building. They stood outside and embraced each other as they called roll to make sure everyone had escaped.
Work was temporarily suspended as rescuers evaluated whether they should reinforce the floor or work in a different area, McDermott said.
"We just have to make sure that we get the victims out without the concrete slab collapsing on to them," Zahralban said.
McDermott said the two were able to see the lens of a camera being sent into the rubble. He also said a body was found by rescuers as they were working and would be removed.
An 80-person team was working to free the people, Zahralban said. Rescuers are crawling through spaces that are at times so tight they can only take half a breath.
Earlier, Zahralban had the opportunity to tell the rescued American woman's sister that she is alive.
"She dropped to her knees and thanked us," he said.
Then the Florida rescuers called the woman's son, who lives in Pembroke Pines, Florida. "After we told him, he went silent for a moment," Zahralban said.
As of Sunday, 62 people have been rescued alive by rescue teams from the United States and other nations, Tim Callaghan of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) told reporters. Americans have rescued at least 29 of those, he said.
A U.N. search and rescue team freed one of its own, Jens Christensen, from the rubble of the collapsed mission headquarters Sunday where at least 37 people have been confirmed dead. He told his rescuers that others were still alive, saying he head heard tapping nearby, but not since Friday.
Those trapped in the supermarket had been living off the store's inventory of food and water, authorities said.
"If I was going to be trapped for five days in the dark," Zahralban said, "one of the best places to be is in a supermarket surrounded by food."
The man and the girl rescued earlier were found side-by-side in one of the aisles, he said. They are believed to be Haitian nationals.

Rescuers were using the groceries surrounding the victims to help with the detective work of locating them. It's risky, though: One officer told CNN a victim was surrounded by paper towels, which muffled the sound of their voice.
The building underwent a "pancake collapse," Zahralban said. However, in such collapses, "you have void spaces that enable life to survive," he said.
He said someone sent his fire chief in Florida an e-mail regarding text messages coming from the location. The chief asked the rescuers in Haiti to check the store out. When the rescuers got there, "we could hear voices," Zahralban.
"We're not going to leave until we're absolutely sure that we've rescued every possible victim," he said..
The Americans worked overnight to free the victims, cutting through concrete and shoring up space to reach them, using timber brought with the team from the United States. On Sunday morning, freshly rested team members replaced those who worked through the night, Browne said.
The store's manager was helping rescuers, providing maps and other information. The store's owner has said that about 100 people would normally be in the store at that time of day.
Separately, other members of the New York team rescued a 55-year-old man trapped in the rubble of a four-story building in Port-au-Prince. They used a rescue camera to locate the man, and then a paramedic climbed into a narrow space with him and started an intravenous fluid line to combat the man's dehydration as rescuers used jackhammers and cutting tools to free him.
The man had been trapped since Tuesday, the NYPD said in a statement. He was suffering from dehydration but otherwise not seriously injured.
Other rescues took place as well. An Israel Defense Forces medical and rescue team said Sunday it had rescued a Haitian government worker Saturday after he was trapped for 125 hours in the rubble of a customs office. After the rescue, which lasted eight hours, he was taken in "moderate condition" to an IDF hospital. It was the first live rescue by IDF, according to a statement.
Also Saturday, a team with Los Angeles County Search and Rescue answered the desperate, but futile, pleas of a mother who believed her young daughter was trapped alive beneath the rubble of a day care center in downtown Port-au-Prince.
Despite the distinct sounds of tapping from within the crushed concrete, the rescue effort turned into a recovery operation eight hours after it began when crews failed to get further responses from whoever was trapped inside.
Search and rescue personnel determined there was no one still alive inside the structure and left the site.
The mother had stood praying silently while watching the rescue efforts, four days after a magnitude 7.0 quake devastated the impoverished island nation. She remained there as the rescue personnel pulled away, still holding onto the hope her daughter was still alive.
Elsewhere in the capital, rescue crews responded to a text message from a 30-year-old woman beneath the ruins of the collapsed bank where she worked. Dogs picked up the scent of survivors within the rubble several times, but by early Sunday, rescue crews hadn't seen or heard anything with high-tech cameras and listening devices.
Also rescued Saturday: a 2-month-old baby in critical condition with injuries that included broken ribs. Rescue personnel worried she could contract pneumonia, and doctors rushed her to the airport where she was evacuated to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I know I have said some mean things about the situation in Haiti, some of it tongue in cheek, I really feel bad for those people living in tents and some still buried alive in the rubble. I still agree with Rush though...my heart goes out to these people, hopefully they find some more survivors and they get the medicine, food and water to these people soon. Just wanted to clarify. I am not a cold blooded evil asshole like most of you think I am.
You still agree with Rush about what? (Other than everything, evidently including fraud, illegally obtaining prescription drugs, and abusing them)
Here's a news flash for you. Not only does it LOOK like a Third World Country, it IS a third world country. Pretty much the definition, even before this tragedy.
I realize you probably don't spend much time watching or learning about these "worthless" areas in the world, so that's understandable, I guess. :shrug:

Your picture is in the dictionary under 'cold blooded evil asshole'. I hope your pain doesn't stop when you die.
Obama's Haiti crisis...Rush is exactly right my friend

What do you know about Jesus? I don't follow to closely on the subject.
TIA.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
your thinking patterns turn on a dime
are you sure your not following in Rush's footsteps and snorting the fawking OxyContin ?
The fact that you were allowed to breed is a perfect example of what is wrong with this world.
Be honest on the two times a year that you have sex with whatever your wife is, do you picture Rush the whole time, or just when you want to finish?
Bullshit you do not care about anyone but your self.
You also do not care about your family.
You are a giant racist asshole who is too stupid to think for yourself.
