One of our cameramen, Lenny Torres, he is on the scene as well.
He just spoke with a gentleman whose wife was pulled from the rubble.
He did an interview with her. Let's go ahead and play that.
She's still alive. I'm very happy. I'm very happy.
I'm very happy. I thank all of you guys.
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.
Thank you, darling.
I'm very happy, I'm very happy,
I'm very happy, that's all what I can say.
Hey!
Okay, as you can see right there,
this is a gentleman, a resident. His wife was pulled
from the rubble. He said that she is alive.
If we can go ahead and just roll the video again,
folks, so that we can see this gentleman while I'm talking,
that his wife is alive,
that he is very, very happy.
One of the people standing to his left right there is city public
Public advocate, Jumaane Williams,
he has been on the scene for quite some time.
Again, all of this.
This started to unfold at four o'clock this afternoon here in Flatbush,
Brooklyn, in New York City.
And you can see Jumaane Williams hugging that gentleman right there,
that his wife was trapped in that rubble,
but that she was pulled to safety.
She is alive. We don't know her condition at this point
because they didn't go into a lot of those details.
But that is city public advocate Jumaane Williams,
who is with that gentleman at this point.
