Sichuan earthquake

From the BBC today:
There are still stories of survivors being pulled from the rubble.
A week on from the earthquake, an elderly woman was rescued in Beichuan county suffering from an infection and many broken bones, state media said, while another was extracted from a collapsed residential building in Deyang city.
But other stories illustrated how hopes for those still trapped are fading fast.
Video pictures emerged of a man wedged under fallen masonry. He was still alive, and was lent a phone to speak to his wife.
Rescuers later managed to extract him, but not in time to save his life.
