Pregnant woman and preborn baby rescued from collapsed Brooklyn building
A pregnant woman was rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday as her husband waited anxiously for her to be located.
A building collapsed in Brooklyn on Wednesday, leaving at least eight dead and 18 injured.
Among the deceased were two young children.
As camera news crews gathered, Allen Devlin from CBS New York noticed a man frantically pacing. That man was concerned about his pregnant wife, who was in the building when it collapsed.
Two hours later, Devlin was able to show the man video of a pregnant woman being rescued, and the man confirmed it was his wife.
The joy of her rescue spread across media outlets, providing a glimmer of hope amid the tragedy.
A three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn this week as construction workers dug out an adjacent lot. The cause of the collapse is yet to be determined.
At this time, two children, ages nine and 10, are confirmed to have died in the collapse, as well as six adults. Eighteen others were injured, including a woman who is six months pregnant.
CBS New York was on the scene as the tragedy, and miracle, played out.
CBS New York reporter Allen Devlin explained:
"When we arrived on scene, there was a man who seemed very, very distressed. And we didn't necessarily know why, but it was part of me and my photographer's assignment to try to figure out what was going on with this man. Why was he so distressed?
We eventually were able to speak to him very briefly, and we learned that he had a pregnant wife who was inside that collapse, here behind me, who was unaccounted for. And he was dialing her over and over again in front of me on his phone. And the phone would go dead every single time. He knew she was in the building.
So what happens? 20, 30, 40 minutes goes by, and he's pacing, he's frantic, he's in shock, obviously as anyone would be. This was an incredibly natural, raw human moment."
That's when the miracle happened. Emergency workers were using power saws and pickaxes to break through the rubble and find victims; back at the news station, they were watching live feed from the news helicopter over the collapsed building.
Devlin continued:
"And they start looking at them rescuing this woman, and we get word that they're pulling this woman out of the rubble. It's a lot different from out here. It's extremely chaotic out here. We necessarily don't know what's going on until someone tells us directly. NYPD is all over the place. FDNY is all over the place.
But I got a photo from the feed from you guys there in the newsroom that showed me the woman, and it ended up that she was pregnant. And at that point, we approached the gentleman on the side of the road here, the one who had been frantic all evening and said, 'Look, they just pulled someone out of the rubble. This does not mean it is your wife, but it is a pregnant woman. Do you recognize her?'
And he stopped, he stared at the phone and he said, 'Yes.'"
After two hours of waiting in agony, he saw that his wife was alive.
"I watched him cry, I watched him pray," said Devlin.
The man later told reporters, "I have an update. She is alive, she is still alive! I am very happy." He thanked everyone for their help and support.
Headlines across social media are celebrating the lives of the baby and mother. Her rescue offered a glimpse of hope and gratitude amid in the tragedy and heartbreak over the lives lost, including that of a young father with a pregnant wife at home.
Most people instinctively realize that when a woman is pregnant, there are two lives involved, and that two lives were rescued amid the rubble on Wednesday.
The number of headlines and the gratitude for this woman's life includes gratitude for the life of her preborn baby — even in the abortion-supporting state of New York.
