ANKARA,TURKEY: An avalanche plowed into a village in north east Turkey on Monday, destroying 50 houses and killing at least 16 people. Soldiers and villagers dug frantically for perhaps 50 people still buried under snow.
Gov. Erol Ugurlu said little hope remained that those still buried would be found alive. But a TV reporter in Ozengeli, roughly 500 miles from Ankara, said that voices were heard under the snow Monday afternoon.
