    Quake felt as far away as Thailand (2,000 miles away). Damn.

    School colapses, at least four childred dead. Sad, sad stuff. Let's hope and pray that's the worst of it.

    Reports already pegging the death toll at between 3,000 and 5,000. Sadly, this story is going to get worse.

    Thank God this thing happened inland. Otherwise they might be spitting out saltwater in Century City about now.

    Chinese state media says the toll is at least 8,500 at this point, including 5,000 in one county. Just a staggering tragedy.

    The decline of journalism hasn't resulted in any deaths, you insensitive fucking prick.
