Crowds erupted in cheers on Thursday as a teen boy was pulled alive from the rubble of a collapsed building five days after Nepal's catastrophic earthquake. The dramatic rescue came as the official death toll from Saturday's disaster rose above 5,500.
A group of international rescue teams — USAID Disaster Assistance Response Team — had been working for around six hours using an excavator, jacks, saws and shovels to free the teen Thursday.
The boy was pulled out of a small hole dusty but conscious, immediately put onto a backboard and moved a few feet away. He was given water and an IV before being placed in an ambulance. Rescuers told NBC News the teen was conscious and talking.

Scores of bystanders broke out in cheers as they saw the survivor get loaded into the ambulance. "It's a miracle, a true miracle," an armed police force general told NBC News. "He came out and he's okay!"
