Rescue One of 3 Buried in Building's Fall
Rescuers freed 31 year old William McCoy after an eighteen hour effort in freezing cold from the wreckage of a four story building that collapsed Thursday in Chicago. He survived with leg fractures and internal injuries while two other trapped men remained under debris as fourteen others were injured. Firemen and wrecking crews worked with cranes and steel cables, amid danger of further collapse.
