Earthquake/Tsunami Death Toll
Drudge now has a figure of 400,000 up due to reports from Indonesia, based upon
aerial surveillance. The magnitude of this catastrophe is beyond comprehension. Whatever your belief, think of those who have perished, and those who survive to cope with the enormity of the situation. dxAce Michigan USA |

It really is truly stunning and horrific. I wonder if people in this
part of the world really grasp what has happened in Asia. We all make such a big deal out of 9/11 to this day, which was a terrible event, but it pales to this. Hopefully the rest of the world can come together and help these people. |

I never forget what happened on September 11,2001. cuhulin I always find it funny that the liberals refuse to listen to our veterans and the fact that the majority of our vets support the war. All the vets I know support the war. I trust their opinion over any one else's when it comes to our troops. B.H. |

rec.radio.shortwave: %MM It is plain that you have no problem using an epithet - "tard" [retard] - a term formerly used to describe people with lower than average intellectual abilities - in your name calling, much as other words have been used in the past, more or less accepted, to describe racial minorities. Are you also comfortable using the word "******"? How about "Paki", "chink" or "wetback". I think you might be given your general tendency to insult. Along with insulting other nationalities, are you also racist? Would you perhaps enjoy lynching people you disagree with, especially those from other countries? Maybe you don't know anyone who has low ability or has a family member who does. Perhaps you are very young, uneducated, or just boorish. Nope, I just like using the term 'tard, 'tard boy. Formerly used? Heck no! I'm using it currently to describe you. Pay attention. dxAce Michigan USA Boycott CanaDuh. Plonk, permanently. |
American's are retarded,you say!!! HUH!!!,,, not on your life! Then how
come America is the most Powerfull and Smartest and most Richest Country on Earth if we American's are "retarded"??? You need to wake up! and smell the coffee! cuhulin |

Last I heard (from my local TV news) was 115,000. I haven't had a chance to check Radio Australia or the BBC yet. If Drudge is right (and this is one of the times where he very well could be) it would be one of the worst disasters in the recorded history of mankind. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima killed 250,000. If the 400,000 toll is doubled by massive epidemics, it would be in the range of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, which at 800,000 dead was the deadliest natural disaster in human history. Whatever your belief, think of those who have perished, and those who survive to cope with the enormity of the situation. dxAce Michigan USA |

Little Boy and Fat Man Atomic Bomb's saved many more lives than
otherwise would have been lost due to us Firebombing Japan.Plus,Little Boy and Fat Man Atomic Bomb's helped us shorten the War,World War Two. cuhulin |
Many have estimated that whatever the toll from the tsunami roughly an
equal amount may die from disease. Are we headed toward one million for a toll of it all? We need to keep the survivors - and the volunteers and other workers - in our prayers.

We ain't seen nothing yet, compared to the BIG one!
Revelation 16:18, KJV "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." Read verse 21 - Amplified Bible, "21 And great (excessively oppressive) hailstones, as heavy as a talent [between fifty and sixty pounds], of immense size, fell from the sky on the people; and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail, so very great was [the torture] of that plague. [Exod. 9:23.]" Al ============= Invader3K wrote: It really is truly stunning and horrific. I wonder if people in this part of the world really grasp what has happened in Asia.

I created a tinyurl that will take one directly to the photo instead of
having to look for it. Question: Do you refer to the many dead bodies in the lower photo or the smile on that guy's face in the upper photo? ;-) Al ============== wrote: www.stevequayle.com Photo of the Day. cuhulin |
I saw something a couple of days ago on a local news channel that said,
"according to satellite photos . . . ." I think they actually showed shots of it as it was happening. This made me think that HAARP just *may* have had something to do with it. They knew exactly where to have the satellite pointed / focused! Am I wrong (yes, I asked for it then! ;-) ) in this assumption or do they have so many satellites with so many cameras that most of the earth can be covered at any one time? I also realize it took hours (6 to 12) for it to reach some areas and they had time to focus on those areas based on the direction it was heading.

In a week or two, things may be even more horrific than now. :( FW I've heard that five million people are imperiled. And that's probably a low number. And these are people whose immune systems probably weren't in top shape to begin with. This has the potential to be the worst natural disaster in terms of deaths in human history, exempting plagues. Before the signal was wiped out by local QRM, I heard the BBC say last night (yesterday morning world time) that only a trickle of aid has gotten to only a small portion of survivors. Most of the survivors are on their own. Some haven't eaten since the tsunami hit, which weakens their immune systems even more than they already were. I expect water borne sicknesses to quickly kill many thousands, perhaps even a million, even two million. |

People can easily go a few weeks without food depending on how fat they are but most can only go a few days without drinking water depending on how hot it is and whether they are exerting themselves. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

I expect water borne sicknesses to quickly kill many thousands, perhaps even a million, even two million. There may be a lesson to be learned here. It *could* happen here (wherever here is to any reader of this NG) and we should do what we can while we can to "be prepared" as the Boy Scouts would say. I realize it wouldn't do much good to have had a year's supply of stored food and water, along with medical supplies, etc., etc., etc., if they were near the water's edge when a Tsunami / Tidal Wave hit. However, not all of us live on the brink of a 7000 mile pond or at sea level. Even then and there some buried supplies might have survived. Think about it! There WILL be an emergency of some kind in the lives of most of us; but someone has said, "There is no emergency to him who is prepared!" We can lessen the number of "emergencies" that come our way be preparing for as many eventualities as possible. Al |
