China's most devastating earthquake in 30 years struck today in the southwestern province of Sichuan. The earthquake measured a massive 7.8 on the Richter scale and its epicentre was located in a mountainous region just 100 km from Sichuan's capital Chengdu, a bustling city of 10 million.
The quake hit in the middle of the school day, toppling eight schools in the region. Chemical plants and at least one hospital were also flattened, trapping many hundreds, state media said.
