Applause and emotion marked the rescue of Daniela Largo Sánchez, a 32-year-old woman who remained trapped for 36 hours under the ruins of a building in Bogotá. Emergency teams managed to get her out alive after a complex rescue operation that kept relatives and neighbors on edge.

According to the Bogotá firefighters, Daniela had been located ten hours before being finally freed. However, her rescue required extreme caution because she was buried under a large amount of rubble. Rescuers worked carefully to avoid movements that could jeopardize her safety.

The moment Daniela was extracted from the ruins was accompanied by applause and expressions of relief, in a scene marked by emotion and hope after hours of uncertainty.

The firefighters continue to work at the site and have confirmed that another person remains trapped inside the same building. Emergency teams are now focusing their efforts on locating her and rescuing her alive.

The rescue operation remains active in Bogotá, as emergency services work against time to free the second person trapped under the rubble.
