Wow! That’s a pretty long fissure.

The death toll is now 20,000 plus. There was no place for these people to escape to as the buildings all collapsed around them. It was cold with snow on the ground and the middle of the night. They will probably be finding bodies for some time to come.

That’s such a tragedy. I can’t imagine the hardship those poor people are enduring.

I find it puzzling that the news on TV has continuously relegated this story to the end of their telecasts behind Congressional hearings and “Balloon news” which keeps repeating itself over and over again. It seems to me that when 25000 people lose their lives in an enormous disaster that it should be the “Top” of the news. I realize it is halfway around the world in two foreign nations, but doesn’t a tragedy that enormous merit the number one headline? Help me if I am wrong.

Horrendous event. So difficult for rescuers to access victims.

One positive note..... a baby boy was found after 120 hours buried in the rubble.

Praying for all involved.
