Sabah quake: Uphill task for rescuers


KUNDASANG: Rescue teams crawled through huge fallen boulders and rocks in darkness in a daring effort to reach 10 unconscious people and 105 others trapped in the icy cold peak of Mt Kinabalu that was jolted by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake.

Two bodies, one of local mountain guide Robi Sapinggi, 30, and a foreign teenage girl, were brought down to Sabah Parks base camp at 9pm yesterday while an injured man was stretchered down soon after.
