Buildings were evacuted, people were panicking ... it was mayhem’
WILLIAM TINNING May 13 2008
Photographs posted on the internet, showing arms and a torso sticking out of the rubble of a school where an estimated 900 pupils were buried, gave some idea of the scale of the earthquake that has hit south-west China.
Desperate efforts were under way to find survivors in the collapsed ruins of Juyuan Middle School in Dujiangyan city, just south of the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude quake in Sichuan province.
Scores of people were working frantically to free the trapped, using small winches or their hands to move concrete slabs.

I’ve seen that picture on the internet, but it looked to me like that “torso” was actually a child who was being rescued alive. It appeared to me that some rescuer placed a helmet on the child to protect him.
I’m really disgusted with the news here right now. Everything is still all about the disaster of Hillary and Obama and not about China and Myanmar.
