By now, I am sure most of YOU have heard about the destructive 7.9 earthquake in China. I am posting this story because it includes a couple of slide shows with over 150 pictures from this horrific event. My prayers and sympathies go out to the Chinese people that had to and have to deal with the consequences of one of natures most desrtuctive forces.
Nearly 10,000 Perish in China Quake
CHENGDU, China (May 12) - The death toll from a powerful earthquake that toppled buildings, schools and chemical plants climbed to nearly 10,000 in the worst-hit province Tuesday, while untold numbers remain trapped after the worst quake in three decades.
The 7.9-magnitude quake Monday devastated a region of small cities and towns set amid steep hills north of Sichuan's provincial capital of Chengdu. Striking in mid-afternoon, it emptied office buildings across the country in Beijing, could be felt as far away as Vietnam and in Chengdu crashed telephone networks and hours later left parts of the city of 10 million in darkness.
