Earthquake

[DeStRuCtIoN]

dude, now there's talk of isease coz 24k bodies rotting isn't very healthy

[Dynafrom]

24k last i chekecd 72k

[skidude]

last i heard was 88k and i also heard 100k thats crazy

[erizoe]

they are expecting the numbers to double becasue of lack of recorces and desiese. hospitals crowded and such this is really horrable.

[Mr. Fabulous]

damn man thats a big mother but you would think that when they hear about a sunami coming that they would leave the coast

Dude thier is no warning against this in taht part of the world in fact it is the only place that does not have a tsunami warning system yet.

And the last report was about 123k, but the true death toll will not be known for quite awhile especially since so mnay bodies are going to simply wash away.

[DiscoFroMan]

yeah the goverment actually said they could of had a better warning but they didnt think they needed to becuase they wouldnt have to worry about it

but AH DUH!

earthquake

waves

not good

so alto of peopel are pissed becuase they said that

[Warslut]

They just got a warning for another tsunami... good god.

[ken2520]

last report was around 126k man very sad.. i cant believe how unlucky that 9.0 earthquake has to happen RITE BESIDE THE shores to the sea lol hmm i wonder if god planned this happening LOl or was this a very very very stupid thing god did when he was drunk... i wonder

[A|fzZz]

The government KNEW bout it...but they didnt want to expose it...cos
1,might cost a panic ...2,lose money in the tourism industry...
If there wasnt ne earrthquake wouldnt they'll cause a false and stuffs...

[ken2520]

but thtas stupid.... if lik the gov knew and didnt wonna loose money .. y rather wait and see if it comes instead he could ev evaperated the town just in case it did happen . in this case it did. then he wouldnt of lost so many lives there. and probaly loose less dmg.

I was going to thailand the 11th january. I was going to Phuket also... Damn if i had been down there now i wouldnt have made it.

[A|fzZz]

thats not what the gov is thinking...
cos if they really report it and realised it's a false alarm...millions of dollars are gone...tourism industry...

[Puffen]

I think the government down there did as they shouldve done. In Asia they recieve a lot of earthquake warnings and most of them are false so evacuating several 100k people for a POSSIBLE earthquake is pointless imo. Now ofc, if the threat was like 75%+ positive about a big coming earthquake and the government chose to disregard it for the $$$, then we can start whining.

I know.... its alot more then 24k

No one around here should celebrate it should be sorrow and sympathy

I live in Singapore very near Thailand and the places the Tsunami hit...
We got lucky

PS : Alvin its rainin cos monsoon? Or the Tsunami?

[A|fzZz]

OH NO...THE FLOOD IS COMING heh...
its been raining for quite a long time...

[Aemaeth]

we spend millions anti terrorism, but when a tsunami kills 24k people, we have no protection to prevent their deaths?

[skidude]

Frantic race to save millions of survivors


Toll soars past 120,000; aid pours in for 5 million left homeless


As relief efforts brought a glimmer of hope, the toll from the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the tsunami it spawned rose to more than 120,000 on Friday, including about 80,000 deaths in Indonesia, though Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supadi said the toll there could hit 100,000.

Sri Lanka 28,508

India 10,736

Thailand 4,500

East Africa 137
