A powerful new earthquake rumbled across the ruins of Haiti today, sending thousands of traumatized survivors running through the streets, screaming in terror,despite the latest 6.1 quake, elated rescuers unearthed a baby, two children and other survivors from the rubble of the ruined country.
The biggest aftershock yet struck as dawn broke eight days after the Haitian capital was leveled by a massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake that killed at least 75,000 people and left a million homeless.
So far there were no reports of anyone being killed or wounded by the 6.1 aftershock, but some severely damaged buildings did come tumbling down, including the last surviving wall of the main cathedral.
