Like you I'm sitting here choking at the the horror of it all. The people, the animals, the utter destruction of whole communities, the hundreds, even thousands, who've lost friends and family, lost their homes and livelihoods.<BR/><BR/>We're due in Sydney on Sunday and I'm expecting a much more sombre time than usual.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-91731276233954793842009-02-10T08:32:00.000+04:002009-02-10T08:32:00.000+04:00The whole thing saddens me so much....... Well do...The whole thing saddens me so much....... <BR/><BR/>Well done to Kevin Rudd though for getting involved a few days ago and seeing firsthand what is occuring down there. I don't think I've ever seen a leader brought to tears and letting his guard down so much as he did in the TV interview aired on BBC World...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473866776176076777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-6809377837851185622009-02-10T00:51:00.000+04:002009-02-10T00:51:00.000+04:00Hey Seabee. 173 people confirmed dead this morning...Hey Seabee. 173 people confirmed dead this morning. I used to consider myself to be pretty hardhearted - coming from South Africa, you have to harden yourself to senseless violence & death. A year in beautiful Australia has softened that hardness and now I can't watch or listen to a news bulletin without the tearing up. This is a very sad time. There are hundreds of horror stories being told by the survivors. Entire towns have been wiped out. Its tragic.The Mupersanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686667494871286066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-1204363182857452042009-02-09T15:05:00.000+04:002009-02-09T15:05:00.000+04:00wow.wow.hemlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886283830369668137noreply@blogger.com
