Members of the Red Cross search for survivors amidst wrecked cars after an earthquake in Cinchona of Vara Blanca, 70 km (50 mi) north of San Jose January 9, 2009. Rescue helicopters ferried stranded tourists on Friday from a picturesque volcanic area in Costa Rica where a strong earthquake killed around a dozen people. About ten people were likely buried when Thursday's 6.1-magnitude quake triggered landslides near the La Paz waterfall at Vara Blanca, on the flanks of the Poas Volcano, officials said, although exact numbers were unclear.
