Sichuan Earthquake Update

[Updated May 30, 2008] I forgot to publish this post to the front page, whoops! The two links still have excellent information. In particular, Dave's Landslide Blog has coverage of the many landslide lakes and the efforts to breach some of them. [/Update] The latest numbers according to AFP, Worldwide News Agency, is 71,000 dead, missing or buried and over 5 million homeless. There were many victims that were buried by landslides and rockfall. In the past few days 200 rescue workers have been buried by mudslides. For more coverage on landslides related to the earthquake, I recommend Dave's Landslide Blog. Geology.com also has very comprehensive coverage as well.
