Add InterestLaboring through sub-freezing temperatures, Russian rescue workers were digging into a sprawling heap of jagged rubble from a collapsed apartment building when one heard the faintest sound. On Tuesday, to everyone's delight and surprise, they pulled a baby boy out of the rubble alive, nearly 36 hours after the disaster that blew apart his home. Rescue worker Pyotr Gritsenko said on Russian television that baby's discovery came after one of the crew heard faint cries. The father said he helped rescuers dig in the rubble and "showed them a place where he approximately could be." Russian officials say the odds of finding anyone else alive in the debris look increasingly slim, given the extreme weather.
