Rescuers saved a woman who survived three days in the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Singapore. Officials at first said they believed that the woman, identified as Chua Kim Choo, 30, was the last person left alive under the wreckage. But later, a tapping sound in the rubble indicated that there could be another survivor. Chua was the 17th survivor found since the six-story New World Hotel collapsed Saturday. Twelve bodies have been recovered, and officials fear that up to 45 more people may have died.
