In a remarkable twist of fate, a 35 year old Haiti man was rescued from the rubble two weeks after the deadly earthquake that struck the impoverished country.

U.S. troops pulled the man, dressed only in underpants from under the collapsed buildings in the center of Port-au-Prince. The man reportedly had one of his legs crushed and was taken for medical treatment.

The rescue comes three days after the Haiti government called an end to the search and rescue operations on Saturday. A UN spokesperson said on Saturday that 132 people were rescued by international rescue teams.
