   Rescue crews work against the clock to reach people trapped in rubble.
   Civil protection officials have revised the death toll from Wednesday's
   6.2-magnitude earthquake to 241, with 184 in Amatrice, 46 in Arqueta
   and 11 in Accumoli, the three hardest-hit towns, which are largely
   ruined.
