The 1908 Messina earthquake ravaged Messina , Italy , killing around 60,000 people ; one of whom was Charles Bousfield Huleatt who was in his 40s at the time , along with his entire family under the ruins of their house . Messina was in chaos at that time , and it took the men of the Lancashire Cruiser ( made up of English sailors ) four days to find them from under the rubble
