Sad to see. Those areas sure get big ones and the infrastructure is not built to handle them so always so many deaths.

I was watching some footage where a large apartment had collapsed, that camera then panned to the right to capture what looked like a residential tower of some height (8+ stories?) collapsing. Things that didn't fall immediately are still unstable & at risk. Awful

Yep. Crazy stuff. Over 40K already. Still pulling out random survivors after a week (more?). Probably still a long way to go.

45,000 confirmed dead but they're still pulling out a few survivors. Man, I wish them luck!

I just think of all the fantastic people that rolled out the red carpet for me and my buddy when we were there. They treated us like royalty. Most of them, their homes were made out of stone on the side of a mountain right in the heaviest hit area.. very unlikely they made it.
