Aftershocks in Abruzzo disrupted rescuers' efforts to find residents alive under the rubble from Monday morning's earthquake. CBS' Allen Pizzey showed the tremors "sending rescue workers fleeing the danger of falling debris" as a wall of an already-damaged ancient cathedral collapsed. ABC's Miguel Marquez offered some seismology. The fault line in the Apennine Mountains was nine miles long and five miles deep and moved the earth by 18 inches "a remarkable distance." NBC's Martin Fletcher achieved the human touch in the 1,000-year-old mountain village of Onna, population 300 on Sunday, now 260. "It is always sad in these situations when you find the family photographs," he showed us. "I suppose, hopefully, someone will come and reclaim this pretty soon. I shall just leave it here so they can find it as they come." Later, "as it turns out they died too."
