Aerial view of collapsed buildings around L’aquila April 6, 2009. Rescuers used mechanical diggers and their bare hands to search through the night on Tuesday for survivors of Italy’s worst quake in three decades which killed nearly 180 people. More than 24 hours after the quake shook the central Italian region of Abruzzo, emergency workers dug out two students early on Tuesday from collapsed buildings in L’Aquila, the medieval mountain city of 68,000 people worst hit by the disaster.
