Philippines Landslide Photos

An aerial view Thursday, Feb. 23, 2006, of the landslide covering Guinsaugon village on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. Rescue efforts were suspended Thursday due to heavy rain and unsafe conditions after a group of seven Taiwanese disaster experts were rescued by U.S. Marines. Most of the population of Guinsaugon was feared buried alive when a rain-soaked mountain collapsed.
