Death Toll Grows to 91 at Collapsed Garbage Dump in Philippines

Backhoes dug through mounds of blackened, stinking refuse and workers pulled corpse after corpse from the filth Tuesday, a day after a wall of garbage collapsed in Manila's main dump, crushing a collection of shacks and killing at least 91 people.

As the search for survivors continued Tuesday evening, relatives of the missing sat weeping and waiting for their loved ones' bodies to emerge from the acres of trash that buried them. Several black bags with unclaimed bodies lay on an open basketball court. Estimates of the number of people still missing ranged from 72 to 300.
