    Earthquake: Christchurch, NZ

    Anyone know anyone in New Zealand? Big quake there yesterday. They are comparing it to 9/11 - New York, but I don't think they are going to reach near those fatalities. I can see building devastation beyond that though.

    Very sad. The epicenter was only 10km from the city so they got hit pretty hard.

    You could pick up Lindsay Lohan for less than a intel 990x, and still have money left over to bail her outta jail

    New Zealand earthquake is sad,, the death count today was 400 people.. This is just a rough figure probably more people would have died,,

    Having been through my fair share of earthquakes (Loma Prieta, Northridge), I feel really bad seeing the footage from New Zealand. As soon as Mrs. Kevster and I saw it on the NBC nightly news and they said how far away it was and that it was a shallow one, we both just cringed. They really got nailed
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    I see no where that is claiming that number. Do you have a link?
    I've read 75 dead and 300 missing. So, yes, there will be more, but they haven't confirmed 400 dead yet.
