A woman in her 90s was pulled alive from a collapsed house in western Japan late Saturday, 124 hours after a major quake slammed the region, killing at least 126 people, toppling buildings and setting off landslides.
The woman in Suzu city, Ishikawa Prefecture, had survived for more than five days after the 7.6 magnitude quake that hit the area Monday.
Nationally broadcast news footage showed helmeted rescue workers covering the view of the area with blue plastic. The woman was not visible.
Chances for survival diminish after the first 72 hours. Several other dramatic rescues have been reported over the past few days
