COLORADO SPRINGS — Dan Woolley, a Colorado Springs Web site specialist, spent 60 hours trapped in the rubble of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince but has been extracted and is alive.
His colleague, David Hames, is still missing.
Both men were in Haiti for the aid organization Compassion International.
The men returned to their hotel on Tuesday from a video shoot for Compassion. Woolley — and possibly Hames — were in an elevator when the quake hit, the State Department told Woolley’s wife, Christy, this morning.
Woolley suffered only minor scrapes despite being buried in the rubble, Christy Woolley said, and today he is safe at the American Embassy in Port-au-Prince.
“I didn’t think he’d survive being buried in the rubble,” Christy Woolley said. “But he’s alive, praise God.”
She is flying today to Florida, to be reunited with her husband.
“I think I’ll just cry on his shoulder,” she said.
The Hames family is still waiting for good news. A family friend said Hames’ wife is in seclusion while she endures the anxious hours.
