Monday's devastating earthquake in China's south-western Sichuan Province

POSTED BY: spobby 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I think the situation is awful
I mean the chinese authorities are doing great, I think it will generate good press pre - olympics.

But Five Million homeless,
how will they cope.

i hope the olympics council will consider having 3 minutes of silence at the opening for those who were affected.

At least they're cracking on with the rescue and are organised and have international help - not like the situation for the poor souls in Burma.

Me too - just avoiding it. It's too emotionally devastating seeing people ruined in all possible ways and knowing that you're actually seeing the least worst bits.

The effects of the typhoon in Burma? It's a disaster that's getting worse.
