A large 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey on Tuesday. This story is of a family where three generations survived after their home, and 7 other stories collapsed on them from the earthquake. The baby Azra was pulled first from the apartment rubble with only minor scratches on her. The rescuers we then able to save her mother and grandmother that were buried in the rubble. All were reported to have minor injuries.
I found this story to be very interesting because of the golden hours after an earthquake. The rescuers were luckily there on time and were able to find and save the new baby, mother and grandmother. If they wouldn't have been there during the most important hours this could have been a sad story instead of amazing and bittersweet story for the family. Bittersweet because the father was still being searched for in the rubble.
