Quake victims pulled from Italy factory
- 12 years ago
Co-workers and family members grieve for their loved ones who died after a factory collapsed in Medolla, northern Italy.
An earthquake -- the second in ten days -- brought the building down, claiming four lives.
Rescue teams began removing the bodies of the factory workers after all four had been found.
In Cavezzo, also in the north, a 65 year old was rescued from the ruins of her home.
The local fire brigade heard the woman's cries for help and managed to pull her to safety.
At least 17 people were killed by the earthquake and 350 injured, and just nine days after a similarly strong tremor struck the same region.
Some 14,000 people have been made homeless by the two quakes.
