French rescuers say a girl pulled from the rubble 15 days after Haiti's devastating earthquake was just moments from death.
The 17-year-old had a broken leg and was rushed to a French military field hospital and then a hospital ship.
One rescuer says she was extremely weak and dehydrated and likely wouldn't have survived even a few more hours.
The girl may have had some access to water from a bathroom, and rescuers say she mumbled something about having a little soft drink with her in the rubble.
