March 31, 2005A moment of silence...
Lighting candles tonite in honor of more than 1,000 lives lost in the 8.7 magnatude earthquake (plus many devastating aftershocks) that swept through Indonesia on Monday.
For those who may have not yet heard the news, here are some headlines:
Up to 1,000 Dead in Indonesian Earthquake (via Guardian UK)
Earthquake death toll continues to rise (via ABC Online, Australia)
Indonesia: Earthquake Information Bulletin (via ReliefWeb)
From what I've read so far, relief teams from all over the world are already on the way with mass supplies. US Naval ships will arrive in less than a week, several religious charity organizations as well as the UN.
Very sad loss of life, and especially tragic since this is happening so soon after the tsunami.
Just what is it about that area...
