Red Cross estimates 1,000,000 dead

The figure on BBC on RCI is in the 140 to 170K range. This doesn't
account
for missing people, nor for those who'll die from disease in the coming
days/weeks. There is no one talking about anything near a million.

On other news, there's an email scam trying to represent tsunami relief.
Make sure you donate to reputable charities and not crooks.

Well, that rules out the U.N.
