Rescue workers in the
earthquake disaster zone in
Sichuan have been moving into
previously cut off areas in
the province... and they're
finding entire towns razed to
the ground. An army team that
reached the town of Yingxiu --
near the epicentre of the
quake -- found that most of
the 10-thousand inhabitants
were dead. In another town,
Qingchuan, more than
170-pupils from a single
school were killed. The
official death toll now stands
at nearly 15-thousand, while
26-thousand others are
presumed buried in the rubble.
