That’s… F*uck! That’s the equivalent of 1000 BIG hydrogen bombs…

I agree, I heard about that before too. That is more than any terrorist can ever do.

Canada now sends 80 million plus 20 million more. So 100 million dollars plus 200 man team.

Death tolls
Indonesia 94,000
Sri Lanka 41,000
India 13,000
Thailand 6500
Others 500
Total 155,000

Its terrible, I think everyone should put R.I.P Asia at the end of their sigs, just to show some respect to all those who died from all over the world.

While that may be appropriate, the whole continent didn't go away.

Stuff like that makes me SICK to my stomach. Why do religious fanatics try to claim ANYTHING in regards to such a horrible human tragedy.
(PUKES).

Actually, I heard a gay center somewhere did put their flag half mast.

Over here they are and New Year' s firework in Brussels was cancelled.

What I found out was that earthquake was so powerful that the closest Island to it was moved a mile and the lessened by something and it also sent shock waves out into space. And it says in the bible know this in the last days nations will be in distress for perplexity because the waves were roaring there is your tsunami.

I just saw George Bush give a speech on TV about what happened and how people can help out. At least he is doing something good for like the first time ever.

finally a bit of good news for me.

my thai friend just emailed me to tell me her and her family are all well.

its a silver lining, however small...

Our company in North Carolina have had their flags at half-mast all week.

Canada and US has privately and pubicily(governemrnt) gave 785 million dollars. 🙂 Its nice to see people caring and that the media has not sidelined this event so quickily.

true

Most of Europe had a minute of silence during midday today it was very touching.I went out and donated more money.

I'm glad to see all the outreach from all the different people and groups so far.

again? cry

yea quite a few groups have claimed they warned various governments yet they were not listened to. Personally i wouldnt have listened to them either - they probably get people warning them every week and although they might have predicted 1 right how many hundred did they get wrong? If governments listened to everyone that warned them of an earthquake theyd never get anything else done.

With any luck they soon wont have to wait to be told by harbingers of doom when something like this is coming. Apparently a number of nations are working on an early warning system for the area and planning its implication so that there isn't a repeat, seeing how it is predicted a large number of the victims could have been saved with a warning of as little as 15 minutes in advance. I just hope this vision can be realised, so nothing of this scale occurs again...

Its such a shame that some poeple are pulling in money from all of this by holding fake outreach programs and auctions on Ebay that some claim the profit will be used to help the victims.

True, I consider those who lie and get money in such a way, and then not give it to those they claimed to be collecting for, parasites. What kind of person uses an event like this, or an tragedy for personal gain like that?

its not just that - if the people they decieved hadnt given their money to them it would be being used to save lives - its beyond me how people can live with that on their conscience.
