China Earthquake / 四川強震

Deaths in China earthquake over 12,000
Bodies covered with sheets lined streets yesterday as rescue workers dug through schools and homes turned into rubble by China's worst earthquake in three decades in a desperate attempt to rescue victims trapped under concrete slabs.
The official death toll rose to more than 12,000 in Sichuan province alone, with thousands remained buried or missing.
大陸四川512發生強烈地震，大陸國家地震局測得地震規模7.8，從昨天到現在，餘震次數超過300次，死傷人數也已經突破1萬人；儘管各地的救難人員陸續抵達，但超過千人遭到活埋，震央所在地的汶川對外聯繫依舊中斷，6萬人生死未卜。
