Earthquake Strikes in China

Peter Baugh • April 20, 2013

In China, more than 160 people have been killed by an earthquake. Longmen was one of the villages hit hardest, and rescuers were forced to use dynamite to get past boulders to help Longmen and other nearby areas.

More than 6,700 people have been injured by the quake. It has been measured between 6.6 and 7.0 in magnitude.

“It was such a big quake that everyone was scared,” an anonymous woman told CBS News. “We all fled for our lives.”
