The building was flattened and she was beneath it.
Her colleague Karl immediately went to rescue her and started lifting the rubble.
US Special Forces took two and a half hours to dig her out.
Two of the Americans pulled Karl to the ground to give him emergency medical aid as he had suffered horrific shrapnel injuries to both legs and was losing a lot of blood.
The others continued digging to free Hannah.
Drenched with her own blood, Hannah was taken to the hospital where she realized that she had lost a limb and became partially blinded.
