Over 40,000 dead, missing or buried in China quake - Yahoo! News: "The destruction around the epicentre in remote Wenchuan county is massive, with whole mountainsides sheared off, highways ripped apart and building after building levelled.
Cries for help were heard from a flattened school in Yingxiu, where people tried to dig out survivors with their bare hands, state media said.
'The losses have been severe,' Wang Yi, who heads an armed police unit sent into the epicentre zone, was quoted as saying by Sichuan Online news site.
'Some towns basically have no houses left. They have all been razed to the ground.'"
