Five days after a massive tremor killed tens of thousands of people in Sichuan province in China, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake shook the area again, the US Geological Survey reported. USGS reported the latest earthquake, which follows scores of slightly less strong aftershocks during the week, was nearly 50 miles (80 km) deep and hit 49 miles (80 km) west of Guangyuan.
Officials are worried that water from a choked river would flood Beichuan town.
