7. Yes and we continue to abuse her...
Not that this earthquake has anything to do with our complete disrespect for mother nature but your comment made me think of how we continue to push Mother Nature to the breaking point!

6. That was exactly what I was thinking!
Have you seen what Pat Robertson is saying? Typical religious BS!

5. Unreinforced concrete and masonry.
And probably shoddy work at that.

What a death trap. That building didn't last 10 seconds.

8. Pretty violent looking.
Can't imagine what that must have felt like.

Even the drivers of the vehicles were horrified.
