Chinese earthquake: Thursday May 15, 2008
A woman cries as the body of her husband was found under the rubble of a collapsed apartment house in Beichuan county, Mianyang city, Sichuan province, China, Thursday afternoon, May 15, 2008, three days after a devastating earthquake hit the area. China warned the death toll from this week's earthquake could soar to 50,000, while the government issued a rare public appeal Thursday for rescue equipment as it struggled to cope with the disaster.
