Powerful Quake Rocks Indonesia

Saturday, May 27, 2006
A powerful earthquake has rocked central Indonesia.
The death toll is rising steadily, but last word had it at 35-hundred lives with thousands more injured.
The magnitude 6.2 quake caused many homes and buildings to collapse in Central Java province. However, it did not generate a tsunami.
Several roads and bridges have also been destroyed. That is hampering efforts to get the injured to hospitals.
- 6.3 on Richter scale at epicentre
- Yogyakarta's population is more than 3 million
- City twinned with Kyoto, Japan
