After a while, when she could no longer produce saliva or swallow, she tried to lie as still as possible in order to preserve energy, but when the rescuers returned, she resumed yelling.On Friday morning, after the rescuers discovered she was there and alive, they tried to make contact with her. The CBC News crew watched as the Turkish rescuers struggled to extricate her because they didn't have access to a lift to get the wardrobe off of her.As the crew worked, dozens of residents from Adiyaman watched, including at least one of Ayna's relatives.
