At least 73 dead in twin China earthquakes

Rescuers rushed to find victims buried by twin shallow earthquakes in northwest China today after the double tremors killed 73 people and injured almost 600, officials said.

The tremors in Gansu province — with magnitudes of 5.9 and 5.6 — set off landslides which buried often crudely constructed local houses, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
