Guatemalans in shock after earthquakes kills dozens

Guatemala was hit by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake on Nov. 7th. The earthquake killed at least 52 known people and left dozens more missing, many believed to be buried alive. This is the strongest earthquake to hit since the one in 1976, which killed 23,000 people. Rescue workers are working frantically all night long trying to save people who are crushed or buried. President Otto Perez Molina said that "40 people died in the state of San Marcos alone." All anyone can hope now is that rescue workers can find the many missing people, alive.
