rescue

I just turned on the TV, just on a whim, to get a better idea of just how much coverage
the quake rescue efforts are getting. It was a live broadcast of rescuers talking to a young girl trapped in the wreckage. She seemed to be rather lucky, considering: The building had fallen so that she had a little space and could move around. Trouble was she couldn’t get out. She did not seem to be injured and sounded like she was in quite high spirits, and after the rescuers told her they were going to figure out how to get her out, the broadcast ended with her thanking the rescuers most politely.
