May
After more than 30 years, China once again is in a state of shock due to the about 3 minutes, 7.9 intensity earth shake that records around 15,000 deaths already and thousands are still missing.
It’s been three days now and rescuers continue to search for people who are still under those wrecked buildings and are still alive. Roads going to cities are no longer passable and only air support is only the way for those cities to be reached.
In a city where there are around 10,000 people residents, only more than 2000 are recorded alive and the rest are possibly been buried and still alive waiting for a possible rescue operatives.
The death tool will possibly rise because there are still other structure in other place in the epicenter of the 7.9 magnitude that are being rescued. In Xinhua alone, the official news stated that a wrecked school having 178 students were all found dead.
Military personnel, doctors and nurse, volunteers, relatives and friends helped in digging, but the unfavorable climate condition has slowed the down. They whale for every time there’s an alive person being rescued. In other places of the epicenter, there are still around 60,000 people unaccounted for.
