Video News: The smell of death, the British tourists at Wolong and the shift to a recovery mission as time runs out
Al-Jazeera: The scenes of destruction and devastation, and the smell of death. Melissa Chan wins our thumbs-up once again with this report:
AP catches up with the group of British tourists that have been rescued from the Wolong Panda Preserve:
AP: "The focus of rescue workers is starting to shift to a recovery mission. The death toll is already approaching 15,000 and that number is expected to skyrocket. (May 15)"
France24:"While the earthquake's death toll continues to rise, China has shown professionalism and commitment in its response to the devastation -- despite the daunting nature of the task. How much of a surprise is this new openness?"
