Powerful quake strikes China
May. 12 - One of the worst earthquakes since 1976 strikes western China, with reports of hundreds buried under collapsed buildings.
Initial reports, after the quake struck on Monday (12 May 2008) put the death toll at just above one hundred, but with many hundreds of school students buried under collapsed buildings. The quake, of magnitude 7.8, hit Sichuan province but its effects were felt in the capital, Beijing and as far away as Thailand. State television said Premier Wen Jiabao was flying to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan.
