A devastating earthquake which measured 8.0 on the Richter scale hit Sichuan Province on May 12, at 2:28 p.m. local time (May 11, 1:28 a.m. in Minnesota). As of May 21, the region had experienced over 7,000 aftershocks, some as strong as 6.0 on the Richter scale. The official report of victims of the earthquake as of noon on May 21 was grim: 41,353 dead, 274,683 injured, 32,666 missing. Experts estimate that the death toll will climb above 50,000. Not since 1976, when an earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale hit Beijing, has an earthquake been so deadly. (The 1976 earthquake claimed over 240,000 lives and is considered the deadliest earthquake in modern history.)
