Earthquake Asia - Club CDFreaks

*Namoh* · 28-12-2004

Well I suspect that everybody has heard about it.

Up to now, at least 23.000 people were killed.

This number is expected to rise up to: 75.000 ...................... can't believe it.

Are there any CDfreaks that live there or close to that area?

Info from BBC

The earthquake had a 9.0 magnitude, that's really a big one.

This is really terrible.

*Sen* · 28-12-2004

It's quite near here in Singapore, can feel the tremors in some parts of the island on Sunday. Terrible things mother nature can do.

Absolutely true Sen.
We can invent a lot, we can go to the moon, but we never can control mother earth.

The seismographs in Holland even registrered this earthquake ................. that's thousands of kilometers away.

Until now they say 37.000 people died and the number is still rising.

How close is South Korea to this, i'm think of Kenshin, he lives in South Korea.

*Bob* · 28-12-2004

Dee-27 > I've been wondering the same thing for the last couple of days.

I was thinking the same.

Kenshin's last activity: 4 days ago.

I really hope this is just some weird coincidence.

vantim · 28-12-2004

Maybe it's just phone line problems related to the quake.

*bcn_246* · 28-12-2004

I have also been wondering about what happened to Kenshin,
It may be a coincidence, however, if his last activity was 4 days ago, and the inceident happened yesterday, then he allready hadnt been online for 3 days... still, I am worried.

Still... How safe is Singapore?

Oh... and now its 40,000 confirmed dead.

I really hope it's a coincidence.

That's the problem with the anonymity of internet.
We know where he lives, but not his phone number or whatever.

Same for me (and probably 98% of all CDFreaks). If I would get hit by a car, noone would know and noone would notice.

40.000 confirmed dead .................. expected is at the moment that they will go over the 50.000 dead.

3 Dutch people are among the 40.000 confirmed dead, 13 still missing.

*bcn_246* · 28-12-2004

(not sure how to call, but the South Korea code is +82, and the city code for Inchon is 32, so I guess its +***************)

I think that is right...

*Mr. Belvedere* · 28-12-2004

Would you please stop posting semi-personal information on forums. It's excellent food for spambots.

9.0 is really really big. at 10 you'd expect the apocalypse.

*kwkard* · 28-12-2004

@bcn_246: Maybe it's not a great idea to post all his personal information.....

We all understand the concern and I myself wonder too, but....

All I know is I wouldn't want my info posted.

Very Tragic event though, what kind of area did this thing cover? That's a huge quake!

vantim · 28-12-2004

Here's what I could find

vantim · 28-12-2004

Somalia got hit over 3000 miles away. Incredible... I'm terrible with geography Does anybody know wich one is S. Korea from this map.

*Sen* · 28-12-2004

Quite safe actually, the whole Sumatra shelters this small island from earthquake & tsunamis.

I guess kenshin is having a holiday, hopefully not in the devastated region.

Korea is further north-east away from the map.

vantim · 28-12-2004

Thanks, That's what I thought. I would say Kenshin is OK unless he's traveling.

**zevia** · 28-12-2004

It's terrible.
Can cdfreaks somehow organize a fund raising and members can donate anonimously? just my $0.02.

I agree.

**DoMiN8ToR** · 28-12-2004

I would love to raise money for this disaster but I'm afraid the overhead on the payments are a waste of money. E.g. creditcard payments take 3 to 4% on the amount you're paying. I assume local fund raisers can do it without taking that percentage. However if someone knows a without payment overhead then I'm willing to spend time on setting it up!

*bcn_246* · 28-12-2004

You didnt need to remove the info, if you remember he posted it himself not long ago, I simply got it from the old threads.

Ben

ps. I am happy to give money

*Airhead* · 29-12-2004

Your money will get to good use much faster if you donate via the Red Cross, see your countrys Red Cross website for info on how to do this as the International Red Cross website (ifrc.org) is overloaded.
Unfortunately we have not even begun to see the end of this disaster.

[update]
The donation link (if you can reach it) on the IFRC is
http://www.ifrc.org/helpnow/donate/donate_response.asp
They accept VISA, Delta and Mastercard.

*eleewhm* · 29-12-2004

..really feel sad what happen ........i was toking to my wife i told her...you dun know when your day will come......live life to fullest...do what you want to do

*Bob* · 29-12-2004

eleewhm > I agree. You never know so just keep doing what you are doing. If you worry you will be scared all your life.
