"Two National Public Radio correspondents in central China by chance for a week's worth of feature stories instead found themselves reporting gripping details of the earthquake that killed thousands on Monday.Melissa Block narrated a first-person account while the ground was shaking and her report made it onto NPR within an hour and a half.Block and fellow "All Things Considered" host Robert Siegel were in China to report a week's worth of stories that were to air next week, the first time they had taken their show overseas. They purposedly went to Chengdu because it was a city many Americans knew little about."
