More than 400 people are dead and hundreds still missing after Typhoon Bopha ravaged
the Philippines. But amid the destruction comes a tale of survival. A 54-year-old man
rescued two days after being swept away from his home. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20621441"}}{\fldrslt

\b \'93Carlos Agang was inside his house when it was buried by a torrent of mud and water.
\b0 \
\b \'91We were hearing loud winds that night, we didn\'92t know where to run.\'94
\b0 \ \
Agang, his wife and four children were carried by winds -- along with their home -- down
a mountainside. He ended up pinned under rocks and debris, surviving on coconuts for two
days.\ \

\cf3 \ul \ulc3 The Philippines Daily Inquirer quotes him}} as saying:
\b \'93It\'92s a miracle that I survived, but I might as well be dead \'85 I was shouting
for help all the time, but no one came. I don\'92t know what happened to (my family).
Perhaps they are all dead.\'94 \b0 \
\ Aid workers carried Agang, who had a broken
leg, on a stretcher to be airlifted to the hospital. The Inquirer reports at least 38
people once declared missing have been found alive. Also among them -- a pregnant woman
with her one-year-old son.\'a0\ \
