Bookmark topic
"Between 3,000 and 5,000 people may have been killed by an earthquake measuring 7.8 in just one county of south-western China's Sichuan province, reports say."
Some 10,000 people are also feared to have been injured in Beichuan county.
Desperate efforts are under way to find survivors. One school that collapsed has buried an estimated 900 students.
President Hu Jintao has urged "all-out" efforts to rescue victims of the quake, which hit 92km (57 miles) from Chengdu, Sichuan's provincial capital.

It is sad and it makes me think how lucky we really are where we live we never get disasters on that scale. Same thing happened years ago in earthquakes in Italy and Greece where a school came crashing down on pupils. This happens just after what happened in Burma. Sad.

Think about it this way. In China, you are only aloud one kid per family, for the children trapped and who died in schools, that is the parents only child.
