Post by Spoons »

I guess everyone must of heard of this already.

Its terrible since last night when i looked, 3,000 more people have been found dead. Its hard to comprehend, that many people ceasing to exist.

Apparently it is now close to 15,000 dead.

Yingxiu a place near the epicentre out of the population of around 10,000 7,700 have been found dead.

apparently there are 25,000 people still trapped.

What do you guys think?

It's terrible. Even though the hurricanes in Myanmar dwarf it (estimated dead there... 100,000), it's just horrible.

All disasters are terrible and hard to understand. I only hope that during these latest tragedies some good comes out of them...such as strangers helping strangers, people around the world donating money, and people drawing closer to their Creator in difficult these times.

I am just glad they are accepting help from other countries in China. I feel sorry for all the people in Myanmar. China too of course, but at least in China the officials are trying...

China earthquake is terrible. I heard many famous chinese actors and singers from Taiwan held a concert to remind people to donate money to help these people suffered from earthquake.
