my heart goes out to all those who have been affected by this disaster.

alot :Oh crap

I would be willing to bet it's up close to 150 - 200K if disease outbreaks happen which is very possible. Terrible stuff over there. :(

I am waiting for the US-haters to blame the US for this... where are the conspiracies?

They said the count is at 100,000 already in the news :(

I am waiting for Bush to declare war on the Indian Ocean.

Yeah, the number of victims so far could double very soon :sadcrying

hard to believe how high the toll has risen, that is one furious storm! very sad

damn that is fucking nutty

thats a lot of people

i'm gonna guess at at least 150,000 before it is over. very sad.

That's friggin insane and I'm sure it'll top 100k

Yeah... they are starting to throw around 150k to 200k after this is all over. The measels have already broke out in a few of the hardest hit areas. This is FAR from over.

Seeing the young kids left without anyone is really difficult to watch. If people are looking for children that need a loving family... there will be no shortage of children needing a home.

:( :(

Only on Muslim led dictatorships! But we can save that for another thread. :thumbsup

Just say no to plate tectonics.

Im a qualified nurse and would get out there as soon as I could... but my registration ran out a few months ago and they wont let me go :mad:

This prob the biggest disaster in my life time (Natural). Its so scary... one minute you are there.... a split second and your gone

Anything like this can happen in any part of the world at any time..... I hate it

Lets just hope that this has a silver lining and it mends a few polical rifts.

I hope all GFYers are ok..........

nature is a powerfull life giving force, as well as a sometimes devastating force.. it is hard to imagine the pain and despair local people in those regions experience these days, when you come from an extremely safe area of the world..

I have visited basically all those areas though, and my depest thoughts and compassion for those allready poor and hard testet peolpe there..

RIP to those poor souls who experienced nature at its worst.

Go hate somewhere else, kid.

yes, just saw that it's now over 100,000 confirmed dead and many more expected, and that's before they count in the presumed after effects from disease spreading through contaminated water etc

Try stupidity and hatred in another thread mate.. compassion and respect for human life is what is needed in this one...

Well statistically speaking its not very many. 100,000 dead would only be 1/65,000th of the population. On average 150,000 people die in the world every fucking day. Around 11,000 die every day from starvation. So as far as this being a crisis of death its not really even significant. Tidal waves make good TV though.

Say that to all the families the has been affected by this.

i cant believe this. You can see people getting washed away. So sad. :(

You are right mate.. and thanks for putting those sad statistics in our consiouness..

The 11,000 from starvation hurts me alot.. how can that be possible when some in here makes money to feed a hole family for generations? This should be our concern every fucking day, but people isn't like that unfortunately..

so lets us at least show our compassion towards those involved in this natural (but somehow non-natural death for the kids) dissaster..

i dont understand how that many people could have died from those waves, they don't look all that big.. i was expecting a wave like 200 feet tall.

yea,,that is sooo fukin sad
