Rescuers' hopes fade as quake death toll rises in Costa Rica

Searchers found more bodies in a restaurant buried under fallen earth, bringing the death toll to 16 as helicopters ferried residents and tourists out of a quake-stricken region in Costa Rica.

The 6.1-magnitude earthquake caused a hillside to collapse near the town of Vara Blanca de Alajuela on Thursday, damaging six miles of road and sending rocks and earth tumbling down on passing cars.
