Hunt for survivors 'buried alive' after Java quake

RESCUERS were today desperately searching for survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings after an earthquake hit Indonesia's main island of Java, killing at least 162 people and injuring hundreds more.

Diggers, lorries and other heavy equipment reached the hardest-hit city of Cianjur which was close to the epicentre of yesterday's magnitude 5.6 quake.

In the village of Cijedil, north-west of Cianjur, the quake triggered a landslide that blocked streets and buried several houses, and there were reports that 25 people were still buried, said Henri Alfiandi, the chief of the National Search and Rescue Agency.
