Brothers survive Taiwan earthquake ordf
ie Bath
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Two brothers were
pulled to freedom yesterday after five and a half
days buried alive in the wreckage of Taiwan's
killer quake, saying they survived by eating a few
apples and playing cards in the small space where
they were trapped.
Amid the devastation and shattered hopes,
Taiwanese were cheered by the improbable sur
vival of Sun Chi-kwang, 20, and Sun Chi-feng,
who turned 26 Wednesday, one day into their
130-hour ordeal in the wreckage of a collapsed
Taipei building.
The brothers were rescued even as powerful
aftershocks continue to jolt Taiwan. A particular
ly strong one hit early yesterday, killing at least
three people on top of the more than 2,000 who
had already died.
Onlookers applauded as the younger Sun,
stripped to the waist but staying upright and hold
ing a bottle of water he got from rescue workers,
was lifted to safety by a crane. His brother was
rushed away on a stretcher.
Their mother, Liu Luan, heaved with sobs of
joy as her sons came out alive, speaking so fast
she was almost incoherent.
“I kept thinking, ‘This is not possible, this is
not possible,’” Liu told reporters at the scene. "I
kept praying for them all the time.”
The brothers were hospitalized in stable con
dition. Doctors were checking them for possible
internal injuries or dehydration.
“They are both very clear and conscious of
what happened,” Dr. Su Chong-jen, chief of
surgery at the hospital where they were taken,
said. “What they need now is rest."
The Sun brothers had been playing bridge
when the 7.6-magnitude quake struck in the wee
hours Tuesday.
The 12-story building they were in crumpled,
flattening parts of the hotel, offices and apart
ments it contained. The brothers’ parents and sis
ter were not at home at the time.

The two kept up their spirits by continuing
their card game while they waited in the small
space, their doctor said by telephone. When
their water ran out, they were forced to drink
their own urine.
From his hospital bed, Sun Chi-kwang said he
even managed to give his sibling a birthday gift.
“My older brother told me that never in my life
did 1 celebrate his birthday with him, so I said to
day I would celebrate with you and I gave him
my necklace,” he said.
He told TVBS television that while trapped he
had “a very strange dream" in which "there was

there was a hole from where I couldgei

Russian warplanes bomb Chechen capital Plane crash:

GROZNY, Russia (AP) — The
Russian military on Sunday warned
it may launch
ground operations

capital
SERGEYEV
against

Chechnya
warplanes
bombed
Chechen
for a fourth day,
pounding industri
al and communi
cations facilities.
Four Russian jets flew repeatedly
over the city’s southern Oktyabrsky
district yesterday morning, firing
rockets and dropping bombs, the In
terfax news agency said.
The district is the site of
Chechnya’s now-destroyed tele
vision broadcasting center as well
as oil wells.
Russian Defense Minister Igor
Sergeyev said he could not rule
out the possibility of launching
ground operations in the break
away republic.
Until now, the military has fa
vored an air war that would keep
Russian casualties to a minimum.
“There are several variants of a
plan for ground operations, which
will be implemented depending on
the situation that develops,” Interfax
quoted Sergeyev as saying.
He spoke while visiting sol
diers recovering from Dagestan
battle wounds in a Moscow mili
tary hospital.
“The main aim of all the plans is
to eliminate the bandits” and “to cre
ate a considerably deep security
zone around Chechnya," he said.
The militants are separatists who
want to form an independent Islam
ic nation in what is now southern
Russia.
The Russian military said the air
raids are aimed at preventing mili
tant incursions from Chechnya into
the Russian republic of Dagestan,
where they fought Russian forces in
August and September.
Increasingly, however, Russian
leaders have vowed to eradicate the
militants altogether.
Eyewitnesses said that over the
past four days, Russian air raids have
destroyed more than 100 oil pumps,
reservoirs and small refineries in and
around Grozny that are believed to
be controlled by Chechen rebel field
commanders.
The oil was the basis of a prof
itable business providing low-grade
gasoline to other Russian regions.
Russian planes also struck sus
pected rebel camps near Chechnya’s
border with Dagestan on Saturday,
the ITAR-Tass news agency said, cit
ing the piovisional federal press cen
ter in Dagestan.
Col. Gen. Anatoly Kornukov,
commander of Russia’s Air Force,
said in a television interview Sunday
that the air campaign against Chech
nya could last another month.
Russian military commanders ap
peared to be considering a major
raid into Chechnya to put the mil
itants on the defensive and stop
their incursions into surrounding
Russian territory.
While Russian has massed ar
mored forces on the Chechen bor
ders, military analysts say the
force is too small to mount a full-
scale invasion of Chechnya.
The Russian military is short of
everything from trained infantry
to food, and an invasion of
Chechnya could risk a major de
feat — not unlike the kind it suf
fered during the 1994-96 war,
when it lost control of Chechnya
to a much smaller, poorly-armed
guerrilla force.
Nonetheless, Russian public
opinion appears to favor tough ac
tion against Chechnya in the
wake of a series of apartment
bombings in Russia during the
past month that have been
blamed on the Chechen militants.
Meanwhile, Chechens tried
desperately to flee the bombing in
their republic.
An estimated 40,000 people ar
rived in the neighboring republic
of Ingushetia, prompting the In-
gushetian authorities to close the
border on yesterday.

Fireworks storage blows up, kills 50
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A series of explo
sions ripped through a crowded area of street
stalls and shops across from a downtown
bus station in the central Mexican city of
Celaya on yesterday, killing at least 50 peo
ple, authorities said.
Media reports said the tragedy apparent
ly began when a fireworks storehouse ex
ploded about 10:30 a.m. A few minutes lat
er there was a second large blast.
Some reports said it was caused when
gas tanks used for cooking exploded at a
nearby restaurant, while others blamed more
exploding fireworks. The second explosion
apparently trapped some rescuers who had
responded to the first blast.
Television footage showed some concrete
buildings reduced to mounds of rubble, oth
ers with their fronts blown off.
The streets were piled with debris and
bodies as fire fighters sprayed water on the
remnants of the fire caused by the blasts.
State spokesperson Francisco Aguilar said
50 people were confirmed dead and 76 oth
ers were injured in this industrial city 120
miles northwest of Mexico City.
Among those reported dead were a police
officer, two Red Cross workers, two fire
fighters, a local reporter and four children.
“It’s a very big tragedy,” Mayor Ricardo
Suarez said in an interview with the nation
al TV Azteca network.
Tfoops were called in to help police evac
uate residents and seal off an eight-block
area around the explosions as rescue work
ers searched for more victims.
