DEATH TOLL TOPS 1,000 FROM TYPHOON WASHI
Bodies are lined up in neat rows, the casualties of a massive typhoon that ravaged the southern Philippines. More than 1,000 people are dead from landslides and flash flooding last weekend.
Rescuers say they're working to recover bodies while desperately searching for hundreds still missing. In the meantime, they are preparing bodies that have been identified for burial.
Medical Legal Officer, Dr. Tammy Uy: " Our plan is to place them all in body bags so they won't be sprawled on the ground, while those documented will be buried as soon as possible." The typhoon swept away countless homes on the island of Mindanao, and forced tens of thousands to flee. (Jessica Gray/Reuters)
