Toll from Asia


Its horrible...

I'm speechless.

Yea, earlier on NBC nightly, they said 22,000 dead and thousands more missing and they had all these tourists interviewed and they were freaking out, I can't imagine, this one guy was swimming in the ocean when it happened he said the water rose 30 feet in a matter of minutes

Yes it's terrible...I heard the death toll was 28,000. That's like the entire population of a small town. It really makes you stop and think how precious life is

And with all that, people are still fighting wars. Mindless humanity

i know about this news but...22,000 people passed away!?

Just horrible.

I've been keeping an eye on the news for it ever since it happened. It's trulely horrible. And what really hurts is there isn't anything to do about it, it's not a virus or a war, it just is.

I know what you mean but in a way there isn't as much anger, if it were something done by mankind, like terrorism or war, it just leaves you sad, which is better than sad and angry and full of vengence and guilt and politics and such. Its just a shame that on top of natural disasters there is all that other crap too, results in one hell of a death toll

i heard the other day on BBC that the death toll was 25,000 and rising but then this morning on ABC that it was 23,000 and rising...
sux, hey

Yeah I said that too

i heard it 2 days ago, just when it happend. yesterday it was all in the news. it was crazy.

i heard just then on the radion that just in Indonesia 25,000 people died... these news people arent making much sense.

i had a dream about tidal waves a few days before it happened.. except i think that had more to do with me watching Deep Impact the otehr day.

that is so sad about the 20,000 people. stupid australian news reporters. on the news it said 20,000 people died and 6 australians. all they care about is australians, no one else

Well...that's what countries do to inform people who's families might be living there or something remotely similar...if you look at it that way, it makes more sense i think

it's horrible..it really makes you think how lucky we are to have what we have..

44,000 today is what I heard....one of my parents's friends is a doctor in East Timor and we're wondering how he's faring.

ah shit..just heard that it past 55, 000..oh man..

and millions have lost there homes too. this is the saddest thing i have ever heard. i could never live in a place with high tidal wave risks.. they are my worst fear ever.. when i was little i used to have nightmares about it. i feel so sorry for the people over there, it will be ages before their lives can go back to normal, if theres a donation thingy im gonna give them some money, if i can cos i havent got a credit card

i hope they control the contamination of water supplies and such. it would be senseless to loose more lives because of something so abundant.

yar my mumma sed that disease will probly spread there next

and i heard 50 000 just before

New Zealand is full of live volcanoes. A couple of the cities there are built right on top of volcanoes. I didnt find that out until a couple of years after living in Australia. Quite shocking

its the biggest catastrophe caused by nature ever

My best friend's uncle watched his wife drown.

it's terrible...yea i am not able to say more than this...*sad* ....an extermination

I think linkin park started a fund for it

Yeah this is sad, America is just the same way but i guess they feel its important to single out that number of their own countries people out of the thousands of people who have died, its probably way over the numbers listed so far, the total turn out is gonna be pretty bad. Its really sad that so many people dyed from this kind of a thing. Youd think they could of warned them just before it hit them but everyone who was being hit must of had no time, or at least no one thot of it.

my local newspaper just said that the death toll had raised to 68, 000 or something like that.

yeah see i said itd probably rise.. but you know what kinda makes me mad is people with no empathy who go its so sad and stuff, when they dont give a shit. Its like if u dont give a shit dont fake it. But it really does make me sad , i didnt think id see much about it on here but yeah . anyways im goin to a movie. later guys

its in the news all the day. especially the last days... crazy. some tourists are back in germany now and some got interviewed. a man said he was caught by the wave, then hurt by some stuff swimming around. he got out of the water and walked all the way to the capital.

no..i really do care..i don't know what i would do in a situation like that and it makes me sad that they have to go through with it...that's why i said before..we're extrememly lucky for what we have.

I read on the news that the death toll is now over 80,000.

I can't believe this.

I am so lucky not to have experienced this. I live in Asia but not near where the tsunami happened. The news is just sad. But in our papers today, on the headlines was a picture of a baby and the caption said that it was a miracle baby coz it was found floating on a matress. He/she's still alive. Whoa.

wo lucky. But sad becasue now he/shes gonna grow up an orphan.

And I wonder if superlaxativeohy realsies what he/shes just said was pretty... umm... ironic kind of. like how its so sad all this is happening but bye guys im going to a movie.

other 100.000 deaths till now

eeek. I heard over 80 000 just before. jus' keeps goin up.

yeah auckland.. and one day lake taupo is gonna blow up. but people just live with it because they reckon it couldnt happen to them, but one day it will

yeah when we used to live there i didnt even think of it. Half the people who live there dont even know about it, or that its dangerous..... tis the government at fault there.

stupid duck face helen clark

lol yeah... btw what made you put a pic of a pie in your sig?

i dont know!!!!!!! im obsessed with pie for no reason.. i dont even like it that much

lol have you heard that poem thing

I like pie
Eskimo pie
I dont like pie
I just like saying i do.

Or maybe Craig Nicholls said it, i dont know.

i love eskimo pie!!! but i dont think this is really the place for it.. being a sympathy for the affected thred..

no... im sorry
Its like they're still gonna do the sydney new year fireworks. but they're going to have a one minute silence. Still, i dont think they should do it.

i think im going to that

argh..it's 117,000 now.

i've been to india and sri lanka a few years ago. the people are so friendly. and so poor. it's like if those terrible things always happen to people who have already got problems to survive the next day. and they're so religious. it seems like that god is their only shelter. my family will donate some money. woah, it's never enough. it's so terrible...

yar i wanna donatre money

u should check out all the amazon sites... they've all got PLEASE HELP RED CROSS signs

that is awful.....have a safe journey asian people....oooohhh! i hope they'll get treated well....and i can do nothing too......

i don't do that silence stuff..not for armies...not for anyone. though i hope something happens. i do feel bad for them though...

oooohh! i'm ibn 4-H and i was helping red cross just before christmas for a month. i don't know why but i volunteered and all that stuff. it was very boring. but we made good money...i think....
