Scene from Xinjian Primary School at Dujiangyan, Sichuan

In this video: A student of Xinjian Primary School (新建小学) at Dujiangyan (都江堰) rescued alive and in miraculously good shape, and the joys of reuniting with his parents. Great anguish and despair among the other parents who are growing increasingly impatient and demanding to see their children dead or alive.

Another video worth watching is this rescue scene at Juyuan Middle School (聚源中学) within the same city. The good news at Juyuan is that out of the 300 or so students buried under the collapsed building, more than 30 have been saved. The bad news is that for the remaining 270 students, time is running out fast.
