Chengdu earthquake
May 14, 2008
Disaster after disaster…Myanmar had just experience a terrible cyclone that left more than 100,000 people dead. Now, China with the strong earthquake that hit Sichuan at 7.9 magnitude. With a lot of people still under rumbles, it’s quite saddening to know that most of the buildings that collapsed were schools meaning a lot of children got trapped and now calling for help, hoping they can be saved.

Hopefully, there’ll be more survivors than those feared dead…
My landlady is from Chengdu also, I emailed her but no reply yet. Maybe their internet isn’t working yet. I hope they’re fine too.
