Landslide rescuers make big push as 'golden' survival period closes

With the clock ticking, rescuers hoping for a miracle made a big push in their search for signs of life on Monday at the massive landslide that destroyed the village of Xinmo in Sichuan province.

It was the last day of the three-day "golden rescue period", during which experts say it is theoretically possible to still find survivors of the disaster.

As of late Monday, there had been no change in the numbers: Ten bodies had been recovered but 93 people were still missing. Only three people were known to have survived.
