The landslide came down just after dawn on Saturday, and rescuers have since been digging through the earth and rocks as experts say it's unlikely any victims will be found alive. So far, 10 bodies have been recovered with more than 90 still missing. The avalanche crushed 62 homes, according to authorities.
