Along with refugees, army relief lorries and ambulances, a new fleet of vehicles has begun hitting the streets. On the principle that anything that can be salvaged from the rubble is better than nothing, residents of the earthquake zone have taken to trying to restart cars and vans apparently damaged beyond repair.

China Earthquake's Astounding Numbers: How You Can Donate

It is not the number of destroyed buildings itself that move me; hearing that number allows me to vividly understand the human impact of such massive (and now quantified) physical devastation. The need is obviously massive and unremitting. Here is a post with links on how to donate to earthquake relief and also to Myanmar.

Earthquake in China Has Stoked Nationalism and Freed the Olympics from Crit
2008-05-28 03:03:00 I asked a couple of weeks ago what the effect of the Sichuan earthquake would be. The main focus of the article was a possible rise in nationalism. As TIME Magazine points out in an article linked below, that forecast definitely was realized. But there was another geopolitical consequence: sympathy for China from the rest of the world after weeks of China-bashing. The earthquake, in the long run, probably came at the best of times for the government in Beijing.Time: China: Roused by Disaster"We Chinese people are growing closer and closer together," says Wu Xiangping, 28, who took a leave from his job at a Beijing advertising firm to join the relief effort. "And because of that, the country's morality is rising too....But from a monstrous humanitarian crisis has come a new self-awareness, a recognition of the Chinese people's sympathy and generosity of spirit....In turn, some of China's most xenophobic bloggers have expressed astonishment at the sympathy shown for China by th...

Dedicated to the brave people in Sichuan Earthquake, 2008
2008-05-27 04:59:00 Yesterday I got these pictures from email, I cried as I showed this to my children. An earthquake, magnitude 8.0, struck Sichuan province of China at 2:28PM, May 12, 2008. The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles from Chengdu. The earthquake released more energy than 500 atomic bombs, 30 times more than the Kobe earthquake in Japan, 1995. By May 19, there are more than 32,000 confirmed dead, more than 20,000 still missing, and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged. Cities close to the epicenter are flattened; whole mountains collapsed. Millions of people lost their beloved ones, their homes, their belongings. Yet there is no looting, no complaints, just people helping each other (CNN ) Within hours, people rushed to rescue. Blood donation lines run for 100 yards, and people waited hours to donate blood; within 24 hours, all major blood banks ran out storage space. The highway to the earthquake struck city Dujianyang (...

China Earthquake Relief, Charitable Giving, Big Governments, And The Formin
2008-05-25 17:16:00 A few months ago, while in Seoul, Korea, I had an excellent discussion with a Korean-American friend of mine. This friend was born and grew up in the United States, but has been living in Korea for the last ten years or so. The day we met, he had seen a guy slapping around his girlfriend in broad daylight and nobody was doing anything other than watching and dialing (probably the police) on their cell phones. My friend walked over, told the boyfriend to stop it, and was soon joined by others doing the same. Kitty Genovese. My friend then launched into a discourse regarding Big Government and the difference between Koreans and Americans. Koreans, he said, count on government for so much more than Americans. So much so, he said, that certain things "we Americans" take for granted, Koreans do not. My friend was convinced that the reason nobody stepped in to help the poor woman getting slapped around was because it never really occurred to the bystanders to do anything other t...

The Great Lisbon Earthquake
2008-05-25 14:00:00 It was one of the most destructive earthquakes on record and, quite possibly, changed the course of European history. The epicenter of the earthquake was in the North Atlantic about 200 kilometers southwest of the Portuguese coast and geologists now estimate the magnitude at almost 9 on the Richter scale. There was no warning when the tremors came in three devastating jolts on November 1, 1755 (All Saint's Day) beginning at 9:30 in the morning (local time). Although the earthquake subsided after only ten minutes, the devastation was only just beginning. In the city of Lisbon, fires raged out of control for days and destroyed large sections of the city. People fleeing the city attempted to escape any way that they could including aboard ships that were still moored on the Tagus river. Unfortunately, the tsunami that followed the earthquake battered the coast and rushed up the river thirty minutes after the tremors ended. Many of the low-lying areas were swamped by three great w...
