Woman found 195 hours after quake

A woman who survived by drinking rainwater has been rescued alive after being trapped in the rubble of China's earthquake for more than 195 hours.

The 60-year-old suffered only a hip fracture and facial bruises during her eight-day ordeal, which began after a landslide swept away a temple in the city of Pengzhou, Hong Kong-based Phoenix Satellite Television reported.

The woman was initially free to move, but a later aftershock trapped her between two large stones.
