wow thats sad.. and I was having this conversation with my sister it was only like 3000 people killed on 9/11 right? or around there but I mean they are saying 155,000 PEOPLE!

[AnnieS1527]

It really puts things into perspective. We suffered a lot, but they lost over 50 ti'mes the number of people we did.

[pokhermama]

well it was a 9.0 earthquake centered in the ocean that caused it and they knew like 4 hours before the big one hit that it was coming they still could not get out. also there were people scuba diving that lived

[pokhermama]

not sure I know there will be a 9.0 within 30 years about 100 miles away from me and I will feel it here. also the one that happened in asia moved islands 98 miles:O

Yep so they know have to redraw the maos.'

And the earthquakes can reach up to 10.

[pokhermama]

The U.S. will have donated about a total of 2 million dollers to asia to rebuild!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats bs they need to get off our money

[dck]

Yes, on the Richter (think I spelled that right) Scale each increase of one magnituded is 10 ti'mes stronger than the last (like a 2.5 is 10 ti'mes stronger than a 1.5) and it goes up to 10

[Bahbuu]

it was the strongest earthquake in 40 years...

=\

send donations!

[infamous]

I'm just lucky that tsunami hasn't struck here yet. but its f**kin close to their countries. its sad. and ive donated! I'm proud. harhar

[Frizzle]

I'm not donating because it hasn't effected me, it may seem selfish, but then you're basically saying my whole family is selfish. Out of sight out of mind is the way it works. The biggest earthquake disaster was in china when 3.7 million people died or something. People got over that, they'll get over this.

[freakymama]

The way I look at this donating thing is...How do you know where your money goes, once you donate it???

When the twin towers were hit and millions of dollars were donated, not much of it made it's way to the families. Some of the firemen's wives and kids didn't see 1cent of the money. These campaigns to collect all this stuff and money and who knows where it ends up.

And the way I look at it is let all these billionaires and millionaires and actors, pro athletes etc...donate. They are the ones that wont miss 50k if it were taken out of their checking .

Sorry if this sounds selfish, but it is so true!!!

[Frizzle]

What so they just went up this hill and sat there?

[Hanneh]

They want donations for their whater supply, as it got ruined and its all dirty.

People in UK; Go to your local supermarket and see how much bottled whater there is on the shelves. Why don't they just send that out? We're pernickity about there being something bad in the tap whater. Well uhhh, its *alot* better than what they have so get your head stuck out your ass and drink the tap whater, and give them the bottled whater. Except the supermarkets don't think that way and are being selfish by keeping it. Blergh. I'm not donating anything.

[Frizzle]

by the way, most of the donations in that place have been stolen, people being, mugged, beaten., raped etc, so plan your holidays for next year somewhere else.

Still... it's people's lives we're talking about here. Any little bit of donation counts. It doesn't necessarily have to be 50k. Anyway, if no one helped, you cannot blame the richest person for not donating. Based on that trend of thinking, then millionaires could leave it up to billionaires because "they are the ones that won't miss the 50 mil" and billionaires would leave it up to those richer because "they are the ones that won't miss the 50 bil". Nothing would get accomplished.

nice point here

It's the hearts that counts, not the amount.. More ppl will be dying not directly from the tsunami if everyone's not donating anything, they r dying from dehydration or other sort of diseases from the whater they drink.

I'magine youself not drinking anything for 9 days, while there's a river beside u which u can drink from. But, it's filled with corpse.. Will u drink from it?

[vegeto9898]

Yea last I heard was that there was 140 million or thousand I forgot :ermm:

Yeah I think your thinking in the thousands. Have you seen the disturbing videos coming out on the news.. its really ashame.

[Aetas]

True fact my science teacher told us:
when a tsunami comes...its a itty bitty wave! then if ure at sea u cant even feel it! then it hits land and goes up and over!
