“Officials believe 90 percent of the residents — as many as a few hundred people — were buried, just one piece of the devastation from two large earthquakes that struck Indonesia in as many days… One older woman said eight of her family members were buried. She had been buried up to her chest and had to dig herself out… Wednesday’s quake reduced buildings to rubble in the city. People used hammers, chisels and even bare hands to dig through debris for survivors and belongings. Staff at a local hospital treated the injured outside the semi-collapsed building as bodies of the dead lay in makeshift morgues.”
