Updated: 2009-01-06 09:53  A view of the damage caused by a landslide outside San Cristobal, Guatemala, January 5, 2009. Rescue workers dug with shovels and their bare hands to recover bodies on Monday after at least 34 coffee workers were killed by a landslide as they walked along a road in northern Guatemala. The landslide, triggered by a geological fault, brought some 10,000 tonnes of rock crashing down in a sparsely populated area near the small indigenous town of San Cristobal Verapaz, around 124 miles (200 km) north of Guatemala City.[Agencies] |
