Indian Ocean Earthquake: thousands of casualties

[Alxemi]

As many of you well know, there has been a terrible earthquake in the indian ocean that created many tsunamis that hitted many countries, causing thousands of casualties and missing people.

We are just at the beginnig of this tragedy, the damage is incalculable.

For all the doom9 people who live near or in the tragedy, my most true condolence. Take for sure that you are not alone in this tragedy and millions of people share your sorrow even thousands miles away.

I also encourage people who read this to find how to donate money for this tragedy in their country. red cross/red moon organizations are collecting money worldwide.


Sorry for my poor english.

Just to think that about one year ago I was on honeymoon in the Phi Phi Islands, brings me the chills, as I've seen how the Paradise that was Laem Tong beach has been turned into a washed away Inferno.

Probably the worst hit country was Sri Lanka but still my heart aches for those people in Thailand as someone we know touches us the deepest...

I know I'm very far away to give effective hep but as soon as donation lines are established, I won't forget to be there.

My thoughts are with those in need today, and so are my feelings. Let's hope Solidarity doesn't become just another word for them.

@cypher_soundz:
Impressive satelite pictures, from the news you only try to imagine the scale of the disaster.
Those sat pictures gives a better idea how big it really is, and i am surprised how deep inland it went.

Yes i know , for lack of a better word the pictures are amazing, not sure thats really the right word to use though. it shows how much has been affected.
