Search ongoing for landslide survivors
HELSINKI » Rescue workers in Norway on Thursday continued searching for 10 people, including children, who are missing a day after a massive landslide struck a residential area near the capital. Time was running out to find survivors in destroyed buildings amid wintry weather conditions. Authorities said it was too dangerous to send ground rescue patrols to the ravaged area in the village of Ask in the municipality of Gjerdrum, some 16 miles northeast of Oslo. Instead, the search was carried out with the help of helicopters, drones and heat cameras. Officials said at least nine buildings with some 30 apartments were destroyed in the early Wednesday landslide.
