One of the worst earthquakes in decades struck central China on Monday, killing nearly 9,000 people, trapping about 900 students under the rubble of their school and causing a toxic chemical leak, state media reported.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated a hilly region of small cities and towns. The official Xinhua News Agency said 8,533 people died in Sichuan province and more than 200 others were killed in three other provinces and the mega-city of Chongqing.
Even if you dislike the Chinese government (like I do), you gotta feel sorry for all those who are suffering right now. A really sad thing to hear.

My thoughts and prayers go out with all families. You hate to see anyone be killed or wounded emotionally and physically.
