Dear God.
Jesus Christ.
I woudn't be surprised.... sad, sad, sad.
OHHhhhhh!
Sweet Mother of God!
I think I'm going to be sick.
What a sick helpless feeling. We can do nothing but send money and pray.
I wonder if anyone survived in the Andaman or Nicobar islands?
Holy Crow.
Does anyone think these numbers are exaggerated? After all, they are now had a 10 fold increase in the number of deaths.
Possible if the Islands disappeared
...
No words for something of this magnitude. In the words of Stalin, "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."
I can't imagine any words being further from the truth. The higher the number climbs, for me anyway...The more profound my sadness and wishes for peace upon the surviving.
I've predicted for 2 days there would be 500,000 dead from the wave and another 500,000 die from disease. This has potential to destablize the entire world. Trickle down effect.
UNREAL...
Does the amount of aid they recieve correspond to the body count?
I think a cripling loss of infrastructure and communications has kept much of the real picture hidden in the first hours and days.
Only time will tell if these numbers are real or not. Even 100,000 is still a stagering number.
Are these the islands located directly on top of the plate bounderies which the quake was located?
