Japan quake toll up to 20 as rescuers dig through landslides
AP reports: "The toll from an earthquake that rocked Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido rose to 20 on Friday, and 19 others remained unaccounted for in one small town after an entire mountainside collapsed on their homes. [...] Rescuers were using search dogs, backhoes and shovels as they dug through tons of mud and debris from the landslides triggered by the magnitude 6.7 quake that struck before dawn Thursday."
Comment: That was a big quake, best of luck to the rescuers. I though this was noteworthy to post, after all, you may not have heard about it since it has nothing to do with sensational news and scandals.
