Rescue Video from China's Quake
The death toll from one of China's most powerful earthquakes now stands at a staggering 12,000, and the numbers keep rising. Several government and relief workers are providing assistance to the needy, but with tens of thousands injured, they have a daunting task ahead of them.
Over 18,645 in Mianyang City remain covered in debris, and as you can see from the video, some rescue workers were able to save this man's life. Unfortunately, they weren't able to save his leg, as well.
