Horrible tragedy...I assume that the US will be among those on the forefront in offering help and assistance. However, this hit at a bad time as many people (in N. America and Europe )have already given all they could afford to give to hurricane relief and therefore won't be able to give to help rebuild the areas of Pakistan and India affected by this tragedy...I assume that the US, UN, EU and nations of Asia will provide substantial aid/support, however.Fly Raleigh-Durham International, with direct flights on Air Canada, AirTran, American Airlines, American Eagle, America West, Continental Airlines, Continental Express, Delta Airlines, Delta Connection, jetBlue, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Express and US Airways to:

Horrible news.....and this happened in the month of Ramadan also, just sad..The rescue teams are working very hard in the cities, but they can't even get to the more remote areas since the roads are completly blocked.
BTW Paul...Its Pakistan, not Pasktin..***My Blog***Comment

It is a minor trajedy...Pakistan won't be needing any help...the country can easily handle the situation. It was much worse earlier this year with all the freak flooding in Baluchistan and the Pakistan army handled it adequately.
But at the end, may God help those suffering.You only have one life...

So 18,000 people being killed is a "minor" tragedy??It is a minor trajedy...Pakistan won't be needing any help...the country can easily handle the situation. It was much worse earlier this year with all the freak flooding in Baluchistan and the Pakistan army handled it adequately.

WOW AIC1985 i say you shutup. Its not a minor tragedy. I lost many close relatives, and Its been less then a month since I came back from pakistan. Where a few of my relatives lived, was the center of the earthquake in the northwest frontier section of pakistan. Losing 18,000+ people is not MINOR! that number will definately go up. And i think pakistan needs all the help they can. If you watch CNN, you see the poor pakistanis digging out by hand, no machinery is available.
Personally I havent been in contact with many of relatives, because phone lines are dead. However, I know that a few have died, and have already been buried.Only the dead have seen the end of the war-PlatoComment

This is very tragic, hearing 18000 humans dead is quite alot, buried under gravel.. or not !
Fly, let it rest,, he's only a kid, he doesnt know what he's talking about. Losing contact with relatives is the worst that can happen, Not knowing if they are okey and all that . I hope you get to hear from your family soon as possible !Inactive from May 1 2009.

cool down people, at the time of my comment, less than 2000 were reported killed...didn't know that it ballooned to 18000.
So, technically, at that time, I was right, if the number stood less than 2000, than I guess it would have been small tragedy for a nation of 160 million + but now this changes the equation.
Sorry if I offended anybody. And besides, I was only commenting on Pakistan's capabilities.You only have one life...

AIC.... arent you pakistani yourself???Originally posted by aic1985
still no word from relatives. Ive heard few have been crushed underneath the rubble....Only the dead have seen the end of the war-PlatoComment

Yaar, yes, I am a Pakistani who has never lived in Pakistan.
But I hope you understand what I meant, the article I read stated over a 1000 dead mostly in Northern Pakistan...didn't know about the 18000+ and you must remember, the only reason you are being so hot headed is because your cousins were involved...I understand your situation. Please calm down, read Quran, don't fast tomorrow (it is stressful time for you), and remember, I am here to support you and to pray for you and your relatives.
Inshallah, you will hear good news from on going recovery.You only have one life...

As an atheist I was respectively wondering how it’s possible for them not to be angry with their god, specially considering this earthquake happened during Ramadan?Originally posted by PIAA310Comment

Sorry I if do offend anyone with that..Originally posted by Messerschmitt Man < Not that that's respectful in this thread.
If you ask a Christian the same question, they would most likely say it's a test from God to see if you'll remain faithful during hard times as well as the way you treat other people in need.Comment
