28 Days Later

Plus, local police give first Syracuse ticket for texting while driving and Lil' Wayne uses his teeth to stay out of jail.

Four weeks after the earthquake that left a large portion of Haiti destroyed, diggers found a man still trapped under a pile of rubble. Evan Muncie, 28, was discovered by workers clearing out the pile of concrete and crooked metal over the market where Muncie sold rice today.

Doctors say the man was more of a victim to malnutrition and dehydration than injuries sustained during the actual quake. Mr. Muncie is still unsure who brought him water during his captivity. Doctors say he could not have survived without drinking.

Today's event comes 17 days after the Haitian government ended rescue efforts.
