Reports have emerged that there has still been no contact with a group of UK tourists who were in one of the Chinese regions devastated by the recent earthquake.
According to Sky, both travel companies and the Foreign Office are trying to make contact with a number of unaccounted-for UK citizens. One of the travel companies, Travel Collection, has reported that 19 of their travelers were on a coach accompanied by a local guide and driver travelling from Chengdu to Wolong when the quake hit.
Although fears are growing over making contact with other UK survivors, the UK travel organisation Abta has reported that over 100 of the tourists travelling in the region were 'safe and unhurt.'

It's always weird to me how abstract these disasters in other parts of the world seem sometimes. But then you read a story about a group on a trip from your town or your country and it all seems a lot closer to home, especially if that's the same sort of tour you've thought about signing up for yourself...
