CHINA'S EARTHQUAKE...

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wanted to say that I'm really shocked by the last news on my TV... As a survivor from the 1985 earthquake in México City, I really feel for all this people. I'm not a religious guy, but I really hope that you guys in China get all the help god can give you right now.



Hate earthquakes...

Have they even gotten to the Epicenter yet? Last I heard they hadn't gotten to there to check for casualties.

Very sad indeed.

Chinese city + fault line = Major disaster waiting to happen!

It's a shame that this had to happen just before the Olympics too. Imagine how that has screwed up their budget. Although I'm sure China has more than enough money to take care of both things at once. Still very sad.

I just hope, really hope, no more tragedies before the end of the year, but as the way things happen I know almost for sure that is just asking too much.

This olympic games are gonna be very shaded by all these stuff happening.

Ugh. This is tough. The worse part is that the hardest hit are the least capable to deal with it. It always hits the poorest because there the construction isn't up to code like the cities. Sad all around.

At first I was hoping they were the same news story.
This tragedy is so large, I am having a hard time grieving. I just can't imagine all the individual lives that ended suddenly, and imagine all the extended families, and friends this is impacting.

The worst part is that all the kids were at school. Most who survived probably don't know if their parents are still alive.
