China earthquake kills 27, destroys 180,000 homes
Chinese rescue teams carrying tents, quilts and sacks of rice rushed today to reach survivors of an earthquake that killed at least 27 people, turned tens of thousands of homes into rubble and cracked reservoirs.
The 6.1-magnitude quake struck Sichuan province on Saturday along the same fault line as the May 12 earthquake that killed nearly 70,000.
