Deadly quake tests China's ability to handle crisis
Chinese troops searched for survivors in collapsed schools and other buildings today after the country's worst earthquake in three decades killed nearly 10,000 people.
The communist government sent 20,000 rescue workers to Sichuan province, where the 7.9-magnitude quake leveled 80% of buildings in some areas Monday. The worst-hit areas were cut off by shattered roads and heavy rains.
Premier Wen Jiabao visited a flattened building where people were presumed to be buried and shouted, "Everyone hang in there! We're rescuing you!"
