Asia Quake Disaster

29 12 2004

I have to say, I’m struggline to comprehend both the numbers, area and devestation caused by the Asia Quake Disaster. When news broke of this on Stephen’s Day, there was talk of maybe two or three thousand people being killed (massive numbers in themselves, similar to the numbers that lost their lives on 9/11). But, as time has gone by, hour on hour, the numbers are climbing, staggeringly so, to current talk of sixty to seventy thousand people dead. This is just hard to image, 70,000 people being killed in a matter of minutes for the majority, that’s the entire contents of Croke Park, nearly twice Landsdowne road being wiped out in an instant!!
