And shortly before that, Burma's cyclone's has taken 100 000 lives.
That's 125, 500 souls vanished on Earth. And figure is only the minimum number. There could be more.
I was watching the prime time news yesterday evening. They broad casted a video of someone taking in Sichuan airport. It was horrible. Just absolutely horrible. You could actually see those terrified people's faces. Calling their love ones and hear them screamed their lungs out. Imagine if you were there, praying so hard that your previous life would not be taken. You don't wanna die. Just not today.
7.8 magnitude of earthquake. Even my classmate whose from China said that her friend who lives in Henan [10 hours train ride from Sichuan, could feel that vibrations of the quake]
Soldiers, fire fighters, rescuers were all helping to pull out those unlucky ones. One by one, the buried students were rescued by the heroes. And before that, they were learning something in school. They learnt a new word. They were happy. Playing with friends. And next thing you know, lives are taken away.
Lives were lost. Tears were shed.
I feel you, China.
What if I was one of them. One of those unfortunate victims. I could be stuck under the collapsed building, crying for help, grasping for air, thirsted for water, hunger for food. I could be.
My heart sunk when this CNN correspondent interviewed a survivor of this catastrophe. He was a guy in his early 40's helping the other victims though he had been through enough. As his tears were flowing down, he revealed that he has lost his parents, wife and children in this horrible freak of nature. And before the correspondent could ask him another question, the guy just took off after he received his emergency call on his walkie talkie.
The newscaster also said this 'As China only allows a one child family policy, the parents of the victims have lost that one and only child.' Imagine that, people.
