Rescuers in Mexico City stepped up their efforts Thursday to find any more survivors in the rubble of a school, two days after a magnitude-7.1 earthquake killed at least 273 people and injured more than 2,000 others. However, officials announced Thursday afternoon there were no children trapped -- but an adult, possibly a school worker, may still be in the rubble alive. Rescuers carried in lengths of wide steel pipe big enough for someone to crawl through, apparently trying to create a tunnel into the collapsed slabs of the three-story school building. People have rallied to help their neighbors in a huge volunteer effort that includes people from all walks of life in Mexico City, where social classes seldom mix. The rest of the deaths were in Mexico State, which borders Mexico City on three sides, Guerrero and Oaxaca states.
