This is what happens when you live in an area where plates collide.
Tectonic Instability.
India is still colliding with mainland Eurasia. That's why the Himalayas (K2, etc.) are so high, they are the youngest major mountain chain in the world.

It's sad though. At least India, your mortal enemy, offered assistance.
The US Sent 50,000,000 USD.
Hope all the aid goes in the right hands, but I doubt it. As usual.

I didn't donate, but I might. I just hate those org's that act so 'holier-than-thou' and then the money doesn't end up where it's supposed to be
Sorry about the deaths.

how come no red cross K0na? [genuinely curious]

I agree with kOna, the Red Cross got busted for swindling during 9/11. Forget them. Rather donate to smaller groups and donate goods and food. Anyway it's probaby the Red Crescent Moon in Pakistan right?
I think so..

(Oct 11 05, 07:06)jazx touched base on why.
the red cross suits have been caught using the money for personal vacations and travel. those guys are scum. also i don't really care for a group who has to tell the media 'hey, look at us, we're helping out so much and blah blah.' just shut up and go in and help. the salvation army is so much better in my opinion. they don't care for media attention or who knows how much they do, they just do whatever they can because they care.
screw the red cross.
