Governor: Up to 1,000 trapped in Oaxaca, Mexico landslide

Up to 1,000 people may have been trapped by a landslide in the southwestern Mexico state of Oaxaca, Gov. Ulises Ruiz said Tuesday morning.

A hill about 650 feet wide (200 meters) collapsed early Tuesday, sending tons of mud atop up to 300 houses, Ruiz told CNN affiliate Televisa.

Rescue officials, heavy machinery as well as police and military authorities were on their way to the scene, Ruiz said.

"We expect to get there in time to rescue these people," he said.

    My heart and prayers go out to the victims, their families and may God guide the rescue workers in their efforts to rescue these people

    I am also interested in the question Pugs raised about getting products to review. I recently looked at Buzz for Stuff and it seems that they want the buzz before they send you any stuff, and the stuff may not even be what they want you to buzz about. It doesn’t look like what I thought it would.
