'Incredible noise' of Italy quake

A Briton has described the ''incredible noise'' of an earthquake that struck the medieval city of L'Aquila in Italy.

John Collis, who lives about 25 miles from the medieval city, said the 6.3-magnitude quake made his bed feel like ''a bouncy castle.''

Dozens of people have been killed and thousands of buildings damaged.
