[Daryn Kagan, Cnn Anchor:] The latest now from India, where rescue teams in the earthquake-ravaged western part of that country have pulled a 13-year-old girl from the rubble. The girl from the town of Bhuj said that she survived six days without food, water and fresh air, and she did that by praying. Our New Delhi bureau chief Satinder Bindra has her amazing story.
[Satinder Bindra, Cnn New Delhi Bureau Chief:] Emotion overcomes the Turkish rescue worker moments after he pulls out a 13-year-old girl in perhaps the most dramatic rescue in the quake- shattered city of Bhuj. Preanta Tucker spent six dark, dreary, lonely days under tons of debris.
[Unidentified Female:] I yelled, I screamed, I asked for my family, I asked for my mom, I asked for my dad; still, no one answered me. Then I used to cry; still no one answered my calls or came to me.
[Bindra:] Preanta Tucker was asleep when the quake struck. Just moments before her father had asked her to wake up, but she insisted on sleeping through because it was her day off school, a decision that left her trapped. She remembers those last split seconds. As she puts it, everything came crashing down, and then darkness. But she says she never lost hope.
[Unidentified Female:] I always I would make it out, and would always pray. I always prayed to God, please rescue me.
[Bindra:] She lived on those prayers, and had no food, water or fresh air for six days. Tucker's prayers were answered when two rescue workers crawled into the narrow space where she was trapped.
[Unidentified Male:] We did go in there and we saw two dark girl's eyes coming out of some corner.
[Bindra:] Within minutes of being rescued, Tucker was rushed to the army hospital. Here, news of her escape from the clutches of death has made here an instant celebrity. Tucker then met her family, all of whom survived.
[Unidentified Male:] I've been telling everyone my daughter died and I will never get her back; I now look what God has given me.
[Bindra:] Doctors say except for a few scratches on her legs Tucker is in perfect shape, just dehydrated. Tucker says she now looks forward to going back to school and oh, yes, she's feeling famished.
[Unidentified Female:] I'll eat anything; I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything for five days. I'm just very, very hungry.
[Bindra:] With so much death and destruction in Bhuj, everyone has been hungry for good news. It seems they've got some, at least, with Tucker's dramatic rescue. Satinder Bindra, CNN, Bhuj.
