6. I was thinking the same thing.

It reminds me of a plate of chicken after it's been picked over.

I just don't have a vast enough vocabulary to describe what I feel for these people.

14. Oh God. All I can say is those humans are not suffering now.

7. Advance warning would have helped Thailand...

And other areas farther distant from the epicenter.

But I don't think these people had a chance.

12. Little Chance

The tsunami hit 10 minutes after the quake. Thay really had no chance.
