AFTERMATH: Drone footage shows destruction from earthquake that killed at least 268 people.
Rescuers dig through the mud as they search for victims of an earthquake-triggered landslide in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2022. Indonesian rescuers used jackhammers, circular saws and sometimes their bare hands to shift the rubble of flattened buildings as they searched for the dead and missing from an earthquake that killed hundreds of people.
He said rescuers recovered three bodies Wednesday and rescued a 6-year-old boy who was found alive next to the dead body of his grandmother after spending two days trapped under the rubble of his collapsed house. He said more than 40 houses in his sister’s neighborhood in Cijendil were buried under tons of mud with at least 45 people were buried alive, including Tohir’s sister and her two children.
About 800 police, soldiers and volunteers dug through the debris with their bare hands, shovels and hoes as heavy rain hindered their efforts. He said rescuers had recovered bodies from collapsed houses and from landslides that were triggered by the earthquake, and about 40 people were still missing. But not all of the 271 dead have been identified, so it’s possible some the bodies pulled from the rubble are of people on the missing list.
