Published July 10, 2000 at 10:00 PM MDT

Host Bob Edwards talks to reporter John McLean about the recovery efforts in Manila after a mountain of garbage collapsed on a shantytown killing at least 71 people. Approximately one-hundred people were injured and an unknown number still missing. The mountain of garbage was weakened by a typhoon that swept through the Philippines last week.
