Emotional

Probably not new, but it's a slideshow titled "A Moment of Silence" that I saw from NYTimes.com. It's about people in China paying respect to the earthquake victims. Very emotional photos.

It is sad that so many people died in this natural disaster but here's a thought that I had. Is it us that caused so many people to die? What happened to the people from thousands of years ago when there was earthquake? Was the survival rate during earthquakes much higher since there were no tall buildings or buildings made of materials such as concrete? This is probably something we'll never find out?
