77000 deaths.. the latest number I came across since Sunday.. the tsunamis had indeed racked havoc and the death toll is still on the increase..keeping track of the news update simply makes my days gloomier than the one before.
26th dec- 8.5 earthquake news was reported. I felt little other than treating it as a more severe natural disaster than others
27th dec- earthquake and tsunamis..the incident came across as a ‘live’ geography lesson that is constantly updating itself and relating my textbook-experiences with these real life scenarios..scary.
28th dec- the wreckage caused by the tsunamis keeps rolling in and the rising death toll in the affected areas is increasing at such a rapid rate that everything seems so dream-like.. news report also stated that the earthquake has such a great impact that the world map needs to be redrawn. Oh my gosh!
29th dec- Quite affected by then…hooked onto the online news for updates..the dreamy feeling is still present..especially when thousands and thousands of bodies retrieved from the sea are shown to be relocated onshore for identification. The large numbers simply stunned me. Too real to be true.
30th dec- feel the full impacts of disasters and their aftermath that I usually see from my notes only today. The beautiful phi phi island that we learn as a tourism case study is now a devastated and useless area..the beauty and attractiveness of the sea side resorts will definite be shaken after this catastrophe. The once ideal choice of building a sea side resort as close to the sea as possible is no longer appealing for many I believe.sigh..
Dead bodies, missing people, rotting corpses as well as injured people in remote areas..just hope that all the sufferings will come to an end really really soon.
