That number is 100,000 not 1,000,000
In proper context, it's one million. The article is referring to number of dead across ASIA, not just India. The KNOWN dead is already over 100,000.
I know it's a typo, but I think it's implying one million.
How about that? In the article, its "1,00,000."
The previous sidebar article speaks of 400,000 dead in Indonesia. It's entirely possible, when all is said and done, this could net over 1,000,000.
Actually I think the number is already over 100,000...at least according to Drudge.
Even 100k is pretty bad. But the news bimbos on the MSM channels in their rush to gush rail to recognize that this no where near the worst natural disasters. In the 1970s alone
the worst was half a million.
