Hopes fade for children buried by landslide
The threat of more rain-triggered landslides slowed the search for survivors today at a Philippines primary school buried by up to 100 feet of mud after a mountain collapsed on a village.
Rescue teams used sensors in an effort to detect sounds and movements similar to those monitored yesterday, although it was unclear whether the underground activity had come from survivors, or shifting earth and water. The likelihood that anyone was alive under the tons of dense mud diminished with each hour.
