terrible tragedy in such a beautiful place – these things seem to be happening more and more often. my heart goes out to all those involved.
May God save them-Governments in those coutries haven’t taken serious decisions to prevent their people from earthquakes. Why in Japan earthquakes have become a normal thing ?
