In Memoriam

In Memoriam to the 166 confirmed dead in the Christchurch earthquakes, and my sincerest hopes that the many, many presumed dead are found and rescued.

There are too many dead for me to list here, but take the time to think and just remember the people of all ages who died, from the old couple who were on the bus, him dying instantly and she later in hospital, according to a friend "of a broken heart", to the two six-month old babies who were crushed by their televison, their mother being hit by the ceiling falling in as she reached out in an attempt to save them.

In Memoriam.

Christchurch

So, in case you haven't heard, Christchurch was hit with a huge earthquake today. I think it was something like 6.2 on the Richter Scale, and only 5ks below the surface.
The aftershocks are also pretty violent, last time I heard they were coming in about every hour.
It's all over the news, pretty horrifying footage, something like 65 recorded deaths and twice as many estimated dead.
They're calling out for blood donors and any old clothes/blankets/bedding, so if you live in NZ and for some reason haven't heard this just think about it yeah?

All thoughts to them right now, can't even imagine what they're going through. Donating blood tomorrow,I just hope it can at least help someone, somehow.
Just take a moment to think, kay?
