The rescue workers of South Korea took a man from a collapsed subway construction near the capital of Seoul.
The authorities continued looking for another person who is believed to be trapped inside.
IM GWANG-SIK, an official of the Fire Department of the city of Gwangmyyeong, said the survivor was trapped at about 98 feet underground in the rubble for approximately 13 hours.
The survivor was aware when he was found and tasks in a nearby hospital.
The authorities of the city of Gwangmyyeong had previously withdrawn to the workers of the construction site and arrested traffic in the area after receiving reports that a ventilation axis was at risk of collapsing.
The authorities were deploying boxes from workers and rescue vehicles and three cranes to find the other worker who is not counted.
