    Rescuers pulled a 17-year-old boy from the rubble of a collapsed factory in the Indian town of Jalandhar on Wednesday, nearly 55 hours after the building was flattened, The Hindustan Times reported.

    The survivor, who was identified by his first name, Sandeep, was taken to hospital but was reported to have no major injuries.

    The death toll in the tragedy has reached 10, but there are fears that dozens more workers remain trapped under the debris.

    Hopefully they can find more survivors. Also hopefully Sandeep will recover fully. I couldnt even imagine that happening to me, nor do i want to.
