Pakistan earthquake...a touching story...

[popcornbird]

A newclip this morning stated that the death toll could be in excess of 100,000........hope it is wrong.

A lot of Pakistan's news sites are saying its well over 100,000. I honestly believe its going to rise well over 100,000...cause they still don't know how many remote areas have been affected. Its so tragic...so, so tragic.

Popcornbird, some friends of mine left the North of Pakistan about 1 week before the earthquake. They are very experienced travel authors and had been in the country for at last 4 weeks and said the hospitability and friendlyness of the people was more than amazing.
They are now hoping that many of the new friends they made survived.
It is so terrible what happens over there- with the hard winter being close. After what my friends told me your story just fits into the picture.

What a touching story. People never fail to amaze me.

There were a few little miracles yesterday too. They pulled 4 children out from under a school alive after 8 days and in another location, a baby alive.

Contrasted to our country and the difference is amazing. The victims of disasers here want to blame others and expect to be helped right now. If not they will riot and want to take it to court.
