Eleven days after the Haiti earthquake, a 24 year-old man has been rescued from the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Port-au-Prince.

Hopeful rescuers continue to pick through the ruins, though their focus has shifted to caring for the thousands living in squalid camps. Laurie Lew has more.

No one knows how he managed to cheat death for eleven days.
