Hundreds of hikers are trapped by heavy snow at campsites on Mount Everest in Tibet. Rescue efforts are underway, with about 350 hikers having reached a meeting point and rescuers in contact with another 200. The snowstorm struck during China's national holiday, with snowfall reportedly crushing tents. Rescuers were dispatched Sunday to clear paths and bring down those stranded at high altitudes.
