Only one week after the Burma earthquake, another quake has struck
This time in china
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/05/13/asia/AS-GEN-China-Earthquake.php

So many disasters lately, it almost seems like this is a daily event =/

Mmm =(
That's a shame

inc apocalypse
yaaaaay.

death toll is apparently 9k and rising

Atleast there will be aid available for the Chinese, the damn Burmese government is using all fo the aid they recieved for political propaganda .

My grand parents, on my mother's side, still live in China and the earthquake occured 100 some miles away from where they live.

My dad was in Beijing working in some office building, and it started shaking so everyone had to run outside. They went back working during the night though

hm... waiting for the tsuname now... :S these disasters come in triplets

like in US within last few weeks, tornados, snow storms, floods

Poor china

9,000/1,321,851,888 dead, armageddon!

This is the distraction that Burma officials wanted, but then again, I doubt too many countries will rush to send aid to China.

man too many disasters all in one day, first i cant + my wep to 3 now an earthquake.....Armageddon...

well in response to that, i know someone will say that these kind of things keep on happening and why are we bla bla bla now, which is true. but my stance on it is, if u have nothing "fitting" (idk how to say this =/) the situation, then dont say anything at all.

Yes, people were in it, i believe some people died(not sure since i only watched a little of it), and the Army suited people were rescuing the surviving children.


Yeah, and saw the roads all displaced and stuff.

Dang

1. Burma, @ topic starter, this was an hurricane, not an earthquake
2. China
3. Half of the Netherlands is burning (University of Delft, Plastics fabric, and 3 fire brigade crew members died while fighting a fire on a shipyard.
4. I'm sure bad things happened in other countries too...

Bad things happen everyday.
Scale and attention just differ.

Luckily the opposite is equally true.

All I got to say to that is WOW.

But yeh this is aweful, death tool is apparantly around 50k. Was watching this earlier on Sky news and they where showing clips of children getting rescued. Wish them all the best.
