How pig ignorant of you.

'At least it isnt as bad' - People have died.

How pig ignorant of you.

'At least it isnt as bad' - People have died.

5700 people were killed there.

I'm not being ignorant, i'm just saying that fortunately it isn't as bad

it is very sad and I hope there isn't an aftershock

 

[Dunc]

I never really know what to say when something like this happens. Just hope there are no more fatalitys.

 

[Gatid]

Rest In Peace.

 

[Billy]

People die all the time.

Sucks but that's life. One of the better things about the UK is that it tends to avoid the natural disaster bullshit that hits everywhere else.

Pics up when available, not disturbing ones though: more like satellite images of tsunami waves and epicenter.
