This tragedy is so massive it deserves the coverage.
They all do, so why is the AmeriKan MSM so SELECTIVE -- in addition to the daily shit shoveling?
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Chinese people.
Update: Death toll in China quake nears 12,000
"Powerful Quake Ravages China, Killing Thousands" by JAKE HOOKER and JIM YARDLEY
"A powerful earthquake struck southwestern China on Monday, toppling thousands of homes, factories and offices, trapping students in schools, and killing at least 10,000 people, the country’s worst natural disaster in three decades.
The quake, which was estimated preliminarily to have had a magnitude of 7.9, ravaged a mountainous region outside Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, just after lunchtime Monday, destroying 80 percent of structures in some of the towns and small cities near its epicenter, Chinese officials said. Its tremors were felt as far away as Vietnam and set off another, smaller quake in the outskirts of Beijing, 900 miles away.
Landslides, power failures and fallen mobile phone towers left much of the affected area cut off from the outside world and limited information about the damage. But snapshots of concentrated devastation suggested that the death toll that could rise significantly as rescue workers reached the most heavily damaged towns. State media reported at midday on Tuesday that 10,000 people remained buried in Mianzhu, one of the cities near the epicenter in Wenchuan.
At least two large schools, each with nearly 1,000 students, were reduced to piles of concrete dust and debris, setting off a frantic search for survivors that stretched through the night.
Two chemical factories in Shifang were destroyed, spilling 80 tons of toxic liquid ammonia, forcing 6,000 people to evacuate their homes. The destruction of a steam turbine factory in the city of Mianzhu killed at least 60 workers and left 500 others missing, officials said on Tuesday.
The quake is China’s biggest natural disaster since another earthquake leveled the city of Tangshan in eastern China in 1976, leaving 240,000 people dead....
China’s leaders often respond assertively to natural disasters, fearing a strong popular reaction if they bungle rescue efforts.... "
As opposed to the negligent AmeriKan government.
Our population doesn't react. We just eat shit!
