Oso état de Washington: le bilan s'alourdit

La disparition du vol 370 obtient une couverture médiatique parfois discutable, pendant ce temps on parle peu de ce glissement de terrain dans l'état de Washington. Le glissement de terrain aurait été précédé d'un petit tremblement de terre. Les habitants d'Oso connaissaient les risques, mais ça ne rend pas la situation plus facile à accepter...

 "A handful of people were miraculously pulled from the wreckage in Washington right after a mountain of mud rolled over two towns there Saturday. But no one has been found alive since, and the grim toll rises by the day.

 At least 16 have been confirmed dead. And on Wednesday, rescuers will work to salvage another eight bodies they believe they have located under rubble of the landslide that covers about a square mile. At least 176 people are unaccounted for. But officials have stressed that some names of those missing have been duplicated, so there is hope the actual number may be smaller.

Finding them will be toilsome in Oso, with a population of about 180, and Darrington, a town of about 1,350. In some places, the debris is 30 to 40 feet thick.
