Yeah, news says 30,000+ and it's heartbreaking. People here have a misconception about Pakistanis. They're just like Americans. Some black, some white, some brown. They'll give you the shirt off their back to help a guy out too.

That quake that hit was so powerful that 400 miles away in India's capital buildings fell down. That's like a quake hitting NY City and People in Buffalo New York watchin' shit fall over.

The videos and pics are coming in and you wouldn't believe the damage to the superstructures like highways. Turned them into what looks like crushed tissue.

One of the officials there said that below standard construction levels were used so that is being investigated. I would hate to be the contractors who cut corners cause the penalty is something horrible like being eaten to death by a heard of toothless camels or some such shit.

That's almost 100,000 killed and injured in one swipe. If that shit happened in Europe or the U.S. the world's economy would collapse.
