New video shows power of earthquake

Fresh video has emerged of the moment the China earthquake struck in Sichuan province.

This footage was shot on 12 May 2008 in An county - just 100km from the epicentre of the 7.9 magnitude quake in Wenchuan county.

The death toll stood at 21,500 on Friday (16 May 2008) but with thousands of people still trapped under rubble, that toll is expected to rise. Five million people are believed to be living in temporary shelters.
