4.1: Hvor fort vi glemmer: I 1976 kostet jordskjelvet i Tangshan i Kina 250.000 liv. Men det var offisielt. Uavhengige eksperter tror det virkelige tallet var 655.000! Det skriver Financial Times i en informativ helside. Her står også om Indonesia: There is a danger that the bungling of relief efforts and widespread corruption, particularly in […]
If America were to emulate Ireland and Norway, there’d be a lot more dead Indonesians and Sri Lankans.

British foreign secretary Jack Straw: «For all the huge advances in the control of our lives through science and technology an earthquake on this scale is truly humbling as well as profoundly tragic for everyone involved.»
