The Earthquake Online: ‘I Just Got Back From Hell’
A photo posted by “Aren” shows a building destroyed in the earthquake.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, people across China continued to turn to the Web to post firsthand accounts and look for information on loved ones.
One writer who goes by the name Aren posted photos of Dujiangyan, a town near the earthquake’s epicenter where a school collapse killed hundreds of students. “I just got back from hell,” Aren wrote on a Chinese-language site, describing chaos and at least two bodies still lying amid rubble on the street. (Warning: Some of the photos on the site are graphic.) http://bbs.cdqss.com/thread-344374-1-1.html
The popular Chinese-language forum Tianya.cn was flooded with updates and requests for news from family members.
