this is freaking awful. first the burma catastrophe and now this. do you think this is global warming? i think its just the natural occurrences that happen in that part of the world, combined with hideously bad structural engineering within the buildings. some of my cousins lived in japan for a while and they said the buildings there generally terrified them because they looked like they wouldn't resist an earthquake. i hope china pays attention to this because this is absolutely horrendous and so many thousands of people are dead and displaced 
plus the one child policy means that many parents have lost their only child, buried beneath layers of rubble and detritus... the pictures on the news are awful, i can barely stand to watch. imagine locating your child, a body, lifeless, under a sheet. it doesn't bear thinking about.
