Firefighters search through rubble in the village of Onna, a day after a powerful earthquake struck the Abruzzo region in central Italy, on Tuesday, April 7, 2009. In this tiny village where hardly anyone lives, nearly nothing is left standing. Italy's deadly earthquake crushed people as they slept, killing 40 of the hamlet's 300 inhabitants. It turned a picturesque, close-knit community into a ghost town populated by a few numbed survivors. Some stumbled around, dazed, carrying a few prized possessions. Others wept quietly or stared silently at heart-wrenching items jutting out of a pile of rubble three stories high: a child's shattered guitar, a little girl's play stroller — and a bloodstained mattress.
