“A powerful earthquake toppled buildings, schools and chemical plants Monday in central China, killing more than 8,700 people and trapping untold numbers in mounds of concrete, steel and earth in the country’s worst quake in three decades.” In north Sichuan a tragedy has occured. Many people have lost loved ones, homes, and their lifes. Everyone that witnessed and was there for the quake are scared to death. They are scared of another one. They are scared of a loved ones name being put a board of who has died. The thing they are most worried about is the number of children affected. “ While most buildings in the city held up, those in the countryside tumbled. On the outskirts of Chongqing, a school collapsed, killing at least five people. Residents said teachers kept the children inside, thinking it was safer.” They are left with nothing. No power, water, resources but they wont give up. ““As long as there was a slightest hope, we should make our effort a hundred times and we will never relax,” he said outside the collapsed school in Juyuan.“
I think what has happened is truely a tragedy. No one deserves to have their life and home taken away like that. But there is nothing they can do about it. They just have to keep fighting and holding on. Im sure they will pull through.
