 I even ran out like a mad woman. I was crying, praying to God, saying, please, let them bring out my son. I would say they were bringing the ones that are dead, the ones that are alive, many students, but they didn't bring out my son. Blessing said she was waiting for hours to find out if her son was alive. While volunteers used hammers and their bare hands to break through the piles of concrete, but eventually she was given the devastating news.
