PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI (WBTV) - Reporter Steve Ohnesorge was in Haiti Monday afternoon when rescuers pulled a man out from a pile of rubble.

The man had been trapped for 27 days since the deadly earthquake which killed thousands of people.

Ohnesorge said the man appeared to have suffered broken bones, but was remarkably in good condition considering all he has been through.

The man was taken to a medical facility where he immediately underwent intensive care.

Officials at the scene don't know how the man could have survived this long without water.

Ohnsesorge said the rescuers will continue searching the area in hopes of finding more survivors.
