VAN, Turkey -- Trapped under the rubble after an earthquake brought down the hotel she was staying in, Japanese aid worker Miyuki Konnai had more to worry about than her fear of the dark, but a "ray of light" from her laptop helped her survive the ordeal.

Rescuers search for survivors in the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Van, eastern Turkey, late night on Nov. 9, 2011. An earthquake struck eastern Turkey on Nov. 9, leaving dozens trapped in the rubble of toppled buildings damaged in the previous temblor, which had killed 600 people. About 20 buildings collapsed in the provincial capital of Van following a 5.7-magnitude quake, according to media reports.(AP Photo)
