Rescue Effort Continues in Nepal After Deadly Second Quake; U.S. Helicopter Missing 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The rescue effort continues in Nepal for survivors of the country's
second earthquake in less than three weeks. At least 66 people have been
confirmed dead, adding to the more than 8,000 who died last month.
Rescuers are also searching for a U.S. military helicopter that went
missing while delivering aid. A U.N. spokesperson said a high death toll
is feared.

Jens Laerke: "The first one came out as a red alert. Red alert is like
the first one we had in April. That means that it's very severe
earthquake, it's in a highly populated area. So, honestly, right now we
fear the worst."
