7-Magnitude Earthquake Kills 2, Injures Dozens in Philippines
In a chilling near-death experience, Filipino photojournalist Harley Palangchao and companions were traveling downhill in two vans in Mountain Province when they suddenly heard thunder-like thuds and saw an avalanche of boulders as big as cars raining down just ahead of them from a towering mountain.
“I was thinking there should be at least a record if something happened to us,” Palangchao told the AP. “It was a horrific experience.” Patients, some in wheelchairs, and medical personnel were evacuated from at least two hospitals in Manila, about 300 kilometers south of Lagangilang, but were later told to return after engineers found only a few minor cracks on walls.
