Now normally I'm not one that buys into these kind of conspiracy theories. But last night I saw a couple news reels coming out of the Turkey earthquake, where several kids have been rescued from collapsed buildings. We have seen many survivors pulled from rubble after a disaster caused by various situation over the years. But in all of those incidents, I have never seen a spotless person pulled from collapsed buildings. There was one clip where two kids seemed to be stuffed into a crevice, and sandwiched between two huge slabs of concrete. Their hair was clean, their face was fair, and even the blankets surrounding them(to hide the fact that they weren't actually pinned) was clean and dust free. The rescuers were more filthy than everyone they pulled out of the rubble. The Baby with the ambilocal cord still attached. Dead people don't give live births, and even if they did, if the placenta wasn't cleared and their airways aren't opened up, it certainly wouldn't survive. Just the day before they announced the UN White Hats were on scene, and asked myself, I wonder what hoaxes they will perpetrate?

These kinds of miracles inspire people to donate money, and can turn public sentiment from being angry with the Government's response, to heaping praise upon them for their success. I think they have just gone overboard. Now I'm not spreading a rumor, because to my knowledge nobody is commenting on these strange anomalies, but I would expect someone pulled of rubble to look they had a bucket of talc powder dumped on their heads. And two little girls sandwiched between two concrete slabs for 40 hours, to be in very bad shape, not smiling and hamming it up for the camera.
