Quake hits China

A 7.9 magnitude quake has hit the mountainous area of Sichuan province across much of China on Monday afternoon.Nearly 10,000 people were killed by the earthquake that hammered southwest China and 900 teenagers were buried under a collapsed three-storey school building in the Sichuan city of Dujiangyan.

More and more natural disasters seem to be hitting countries all over the world lately and some at much larger scales than we are used too as a race. Is this a sign of things to come? I sure hope not!

RT @kennleandre: Does Tan Keng Liang represent the government? I doubt that. Then why are these people still going to him for debates?
