...sound waves bounced through the wooded hills and valleys of central India to the camp where the militants - and a TIME photographer and myself - lay down to sleep. Earlier that day in May, a raiding gang of some 300 Maoist insurgents had attacked a plant belonging to Indian steel giant Essar, the radio news program declared. More than 50 trucks and pieces of heavy machinery had been destroyed.

After that, the chances for those still pinned under rubble begin to decline precipitously, because of lack of food and water. Yet shortly after midnight, rescuers pulled the man trapped in the collapsed building, the state-run Xinhua News Service reported. He was identified as Ma Yuanjiang, an executive with the power company. It had been 178 hours - almost seven and a half days - since the quake decimated Yingxiu...
