Just woke up to CNN and heard the toll was at 80 K.

[Orcus]

This is a ridiculousamount of loss of life, and people are just starting to suffer from the unsanitary conditions, disease, and no potable water. The situation is absolutely mind boggling. What a depressing figure to wake up to.

when 9/11 happened 10000 people had died

 

[fiLa]

9/11 did not "happen", it was an attack

this wave thing is different

 

[Redz15]

my point is

they over estimating

and you are an idiot

 

[Maniac]

all those people dead

and the world population still went up that day

how insane is that

 

[apollod]

my point is

they over estimating

and you are an idiot

actually 9/11 was 30 thousand people predicted.. but whatever.. heres where your wrong though:

on 9/11 the predictions started at 30 thousand + and went down as the days and hours passed

the tsunami started low and has gone up as the days and hours have passed...

 

[Orcus]

when 9/11 happened 10000 people had died

Try 2,752 in NY, 127 other passengers and 20 crew members of the other flights and 126 in the Pentegon.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

NO FUCKING WAY!

So the reports of 10k dead on 9/11 were false?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I highly doubt they are over estimating. Lesser earthquakes have caused more loss of life in the last century, no reason this one didn't cause that much damage and loss of life. Shut the fuck up.

We know the final numbers. The point was that when the attack first occurred the estimate was much higher than the actual total. Thus, it may be a similar occurrance with these estimates, that they are much higher than what the final total will be a few months from now.

But I have to agree apollod, those stimates from 9/11 went down, these keep going up...

100,000

kinda late there arent ya buddy?

 

[Killjoy]

Is there some sort of Bet I can make for this? I would put 20 bucks that we get to 120k

 

[Icey]

It'll get near 200,000 before this is all done. And I'm not including deaths from disease. If you include that, this shit gets near half a million people.

That's absolutely mind numbing.

 

[NoGodForMe]

And it's all Bush's fault.
If Kerry had been elected, none of this would of happened.

 

[Monkey_b]

I can't believe it... to call this a tragedy would be an understatement :|

 

[Jazmine]
