ilding. they reached steve's roommate first. >> oh, the sky looks beautiful. >> steve is now counting the long minutes until they come back for him. >> he's right by that window. >> i think there was more aftershocks and i could still hear the building settling. >> now the rescuers slice deeper into the building trying to free steve. and not the moment too soon. >> i had five fractured ribs and i had a collapsed lung and i had almost a quarter blood in my lung. later they told me i was probably within 20 to 30 minutes of drowning in my own blood. >> almost six hours after he was trapped under the rubble, steve is carried out of the building. >> i just remember seeing all these people. i mean, not anybody i knew. there were just people, cameras, i remember people taking pictures, people yelling.
