Rescue personnel carry a victim of a landslide in San Cristobal Verapaz, January 5, 2009. At least 35 people were killed and as many as another 60 were missing after a huge chunk of mountain slid onto the road they were walking on in northern Guatemala on Sunday, officials said. The massive landslide, triggered by a geological fault, brought some 10,000 tonnes of rock crashing down onto the road in a sparsely populated area of Alta Verapaz, around 124 miles (200 km) north of Guatemala City.
