Catastrophe in Christchurch

How many times have we had catastrophes this year? Massive flood in Brisbane? Earthquakes in Chile and Haiti? And now ... earthquake in Christchurch, NZ?!?! Tragic news indeed. What has the world turned into? What could have caused these catastrophes? It was not like it was beyond our control. It was unavoidable, whereby humans could only prepare for the worse.

The current death toll is 98, with 226 people missing. According to SMH, Prime Minister John Key stated that the Kiwis are absolutely fearful that the death toll could increase beyond their expectations. Mr Key also stated that DNA and fingerprint samples are being checked in order to identify the burnt bodies, for the purpose of returning them to their respective families.

This is absolutely disastrous. What could be worser than this? Think about the victims' families. How would they feel? It would be too hard to accept. Think about it. What would you do if you were in their shoes?
