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.
