Tragedy in Asia

[Patrick]

From here on out, I don't think we really need links to news articles, etc. in this thread. People are aware of the event and can stay updated via their chosen news source and not this thread.

Thanks.

hi, is there any website, where u can volunteer urself to fly out there and help? any at all!

[Niksa]

Well, I know that doctorswithoutborders.org is taking applications for doctors, nurses and others to go over there. If you have any medical experience at all, you can probably volunteer through them. Otherwise, I am not sure, but you might check with the Red Cross or Salvation Army. You can call up the Red Cross and talk to someone about it on their 800 number, and they will probably have some info about it.

This is sad news... For everyone

the earthquakes magnitude was so great that the days will now be 3 microseconds faster then regular days, and the earth stopped spinning for .001 of a second wich takes me to the conclusion that im scared cause if another earthquake hits again with that same magnitud the earth will die...

well sticking back to topic.
i sended over 1500 dlls over there for food and clothes. hope they do come in handy.

The earth won't die if another quake that large hits, no need to worry about that. Many quakes this magnitude or higher (up to about 9.6 in recent history) have hit the earth in the past. Most recently, in the 60s there was a 9.2 in Alaska and a 9.5 in Chile. There was an earthquake in the US so strong about 200 years ago that it literally made the Mississippi river run north for a while. It does dramatically change the landscape, though, but the earth itself will survive, and it has survived worse in the past. I hope that helps ease worry, but of course the current situation is still of great concern.

You can monitor earthquakes and volcanos (Mt. St. Helens is of particular notice lately) from the USGS.gov website if you are interested in these changes - their website is extremely informative and updated constantly with new data.
