Under the rubble: gasps of air, protein powder and miraculous rescues
The first 72 hours after an earthquake are considered vital. In Turkey, people are being pulled alive from the rubble more than 200 hours after the disaster.
For about 200 hours, two Turkish brothers entombed under the rubble of a collapsed building in the earthquake-devastated city of Kahramanmaras held on, rationing bodybuilding supplements, drinking their own urine, swallowing gulps of air.
“Breathing was easy,” one brother, Abdulbaki Yeninar, 21, told the local Ihlas news agency. “We took protein powder.”
