Did that yesterday to the International Response Fund. Never seen such widespread devastation.

No kidding - could hit 100,000 casualties after diseases.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

As long as I dont have to see anymore pics of dead babies. That alone was enough to make me never buy a newspaper again. This catastophe is as horrid as they come. But for the news agencies to capitalize on it by using graphic images of dead, naked children in GIANT color pictures on the front page to "sell" more newspapers is enough to make me become more of an anti-media than I already am. We dont need to see those pictures. We have brains, and can already imagine the devastation.

I will be donating to the relief effort as well. In fact, I have a small tin can at work asking our employees to put their newspaper money into it towards the relief effort, instead of paying for the printed filth.

God Bless them all. I have never seen such frightening images of mother nature at her fullest of furies.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

9/11 seems to pale in comparison after seeing something like this, doesn't it? I can hardly imagine 100,000 people dying in one shot. Just imagine whole villages and small towns completely wiped out of all life. This is terrible human tragedy. Instead of going out on New Years Eve, we decided to take the money we were going to spend for the nite out and give it to the Red Cross.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

On 9/11, it started out with everyone saying up to 50,000 people were killed, then it was revised downward to 3000 in the end. I was hoping the same thing would be true with this disaster, but the death toll is going the wrong way. They were saying 114,000 on the news this morning. That's just an unfathomable disaster.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

To me, there's a difference between 3000 murders caused by evil intent, and 114,000 deaths caused by nature.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

Right...I was not refering to your post specifically. I should have replied to the post above yours.

My mistake.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

Right on. I too made a $100 donation to Red Cross Canada for the relief effort yesterday.

No kidding. They're going to have to completely redraw the geographical maps for that region. Whole swaths of land have been washed away forever.

I know, my uncle and I were talking about that. I hadn't even thought about it. On one of those photos, we noticed that one small area of land was actually transformed into a tiny island. Imagine that.

Nature is a beautiful but deadly force.
 
RE: 9.0 Quake

I heard on the news that scientist say they belive that some of the the islands shifted 20ft due to the earthquake, they said it was due to more vertical movement then horizontal.
