6/8 for that Earthquake... wat a schock...!
Well, if only one person died, it's "nice".. but hearing / reading that many houses are destroyed and many persons have to move because of it....
where would it stop?

We all know, however, that China is always exposed to Earthquakes, so are U.S.A, right?
One thing is sure: each time there's one Earthquake over there, we all are moved by it and wish there's nothing happening to one of our brother's family, or one of our suitable ladies / women.

Well...
It's always nice to hear that some chinese women write their love, just to say all's ok for them over there :)

Post by: Sylvain D on July 13, 2009, 11:03:46 am: Well, we may could talk too about aircrashs... 2 french planes who crashed in less than 1 month. (AIRBUS Companies) (A330 & A310)
228 persons died in the first one (as a baby, 5 years old), and in the second one, 152 persons died, only 1 survivor, a lady, 13 years old...
How not care a bit about that when man knows he will take a plane to go far far away... hem..

EDIT / Sorry but my reply is really outside the initial thread..
hem.. :/

Ever since the first one at an Airshow , ( in france I think ) countn't even get over the Tree tops . What scare's me is , it's all computerized with just knob's and instrument's . So it is pretty much flying by itself . One thing goes wrong , the Pilot is really not in control , but the Computer's . When will they realize that this Aircraft has too many problems to be really safe ? This and the DC-10 , I would never step onto these Planes . I'm not tired of living just yet .
