A violent earthquake rips through southeastern Turkey, leveling buildings and trapping hundreds of children in the ruins of their school dormitory. Rescue workers expect the death toll to exceed 100

Turkish soldiers work to rescue students, still buried in what remains of their school building in Celtik Village, 7 miles south of Bingol. At least 80 are dead, and some 400 are wounded after an earthquake rocked the area early Thursday. More than 100 students remain trapped under debris, according to government officials.
