Howard said he had no new figures on the number of Australians killed in the disaster, which stands at 10 confirmed dead and some 5000 unaccounted for.

Please dear Lord, let them be safe. This is the equivalent of (in terms of relative population) having 75,000 missing Americans.

I, too, hope and pray for their safety!

Many Australians were the victims in the Bali bombing, and now this disaster. Very sad and deserving of our prayers and thanks to this great ally of America.
