This is so fucking sad. Anyone remember that Earthquake in Turkey a few years ago that killed 45,000 people? Christ - 45,000 unexpectedly die in a matter of minutes in another country, but when 5,000 die in a terrorist attack, the entire fucking country decides that it's worthy of a bumper-sticker empire. I wonder just what the measure of a single human life is to people anymore. |
Yeh i remember tht quake in Turkey...my friend in LA told me that the news channels didn't bother covering this story because LA had an earthquake of their own... something like 3.4 on the richter scale and 2 people were injured by falling plates...i men it just seems that people are only bothered by what affects them.
I also realised that the number of people that died today is more than twice the number killed on 9/11...i guess it doesn't take as much attention though because it was a force of nature rather than a human provoked (sp?) attack.
At the end of the day this is such a sad day for the world
