Very moving, the pictures tell the true horror of this.

 

For fear of sounding trivial, I wanted to also say that the choice of the music was perfect, and I wish I knew who and what the title was.

That is just so, so sad. Been a long time since I've had tears brought to my eyes.

This is a great video to share because it shows some "before".  Millions of people in the world only have the "after" picture burned into their brain, and this gives them a better perspective.

I had never heard of the town before so I had no idea how pretty it was.  Looked nice.

 

And just to tag along to this thread - has anyone posted this yet?  CNN article with before and after satellite pics.  Looks like a big bomb went off.

Thanks, I just put that on Facebook too.

Here's another Before / After perspective

That is the best (worst?) link I have seen yet.  Sliding the picture from before to after is crazy!

 

I still can't believe how much damage there was - that close to me - and we are fine here.  Barely 100 k North of us my girlfriend lost her house, her brothers house, and her sisters kitchen (cement house/bamboo kitchen).

That link is like shaking an etch-a-sketch.

Once again, the Filipino is suffering through another nightmare.  I can't imagine what would be a typical night, trying

to sleep out in the open.  No shelter from the rain, insects and scavenging dogs.  And yet.....somehow they endure

the night and the hope for a better day is revitalized through their humble prayers.  

 

Without going too much into religion or being religious, we should offer our prayers for those that are suffering right

now.  Even if you are agnostic or atheist, we should offer our hopes that a better tomorrow will strengthen the will of

the people to survive and project that unique Filipino smile......once again.

 

I can no longer watch.  It saddens me greatly.
