Moments after being freed from the pancaked building that had housed his office, Lan (right), a United Nations Police Officer from China, is photographed with his rescuer, Tom Clarke (left) of Maple Lake.  Lan had been trapped for 12 days, Clarke said.  (Photos courtesy of Tom Clarke)

 

A Brazilian rescue worker (left) impressed Clarke (right) with his bravery.

 

While in Haiti, Clarke (left) was reunited with his cousin from New York, Stephen Spall (right).

 

When Clarke saw the U.N. police officer’s legs, he thought he had found a deceased earthquake victim’s body.  But then he discovered the man was alive and trapped between a desk and an upper floor.
