Armero, Colombia where 25,000 were killed when a volcano erupted sending it's snow melt and debris over a vast valley in the coffee growing region five hours from Bogota. This man is finally pulled from the debris after being stuck for four days. Rescue attempts the previous days had failed because the soil with the consistency of pudding would fill in as soon as any was removed from around him and debris had wedged against him under the surface.
