8.9 earth quake

[JDMilan]

80K+ as of wednesday, the worst is yet to come. Two other cities haven't even been checked for death tolls and those two are the nearest to the epicenter of the quake. The worst is also yet to come in the form of sewage and disease. Dead bodies everywhere, no food, no water, lots of nasty diseases festering on land for the survivors.

I see this going easily to 150k dead,,,,,,,,very scary shit.

That may prove to be conservative. These islands are not known for their hygine anyway. Now with all this death and rotting corpses, it is ripe for a localized "Black Plague".

I told my boys the dealth toll is the equivilant to every person in the city where we live being here Sunday morning, and then all drowning before Monday morning.

I'm not reading the thread, because I'm at work. So I don't know if this is a repost or not.


May not be work safe. Not good if you have a weak stomach.

I believe that the WHO "world health organization" pulled a figure out on the possible death toll. Friend stated that what ever the initial death toll is to multiply that by 3 or 4 as far as the effects of disease and whatnot.

maybe i'm an asshole here--

but is it me, or did 50,000 people get killed cuz they are stupid?

granted, we're only seeing limited footage...
but these guys were right on the beach. i can see some people getting f'ed up- but to me, that in no way looks like a 50k killer

Dunno if these are linked to elsewhere in the thread, but I've got some footage I've uploaded to my site... Check out this first one:
http://www.civic-minded.com/video/tsunamiphuket1.wmv

Notice the older men at the pool, down and to the left of the cameraman when the water hits them... It dosen't look like much water, but even that knocks them off their feet.

Also notice that the water almost instantly rises and STAYS at chest level of the cameraman, and he's on the SECOND FLOOR. He also says that it's 'coming back', so this was the later, weaker surge.


Now look at this video and compare:
http://www.civic-minded.com/video/patong_beach3.wmv

The first building that's swallowed up in an instant is FOUR stories tall.

NOW imagine the force of that big one hitting a stick village.

Also: The quake was strong enough to speed up the rotation of the Earth and cause the planet to wobble on its axis.

It's odd, how the biggest travesty to happen to Sweden, in terms of lost lives, occured on the opposite side of the planet from Sweden itself.
