The worldwide rescue forces are moving there to help.

A major earthquake has occurred at 5:20 AM lotal time (3:20 AM CET).

Italan, Swiss, British, German, and Russian emergency units are already landing in Teheran.

U.S.A. has offered his help, greetfully accepted by Iranian gov.

I have not found yet an English language source, so no link.

I've been wondering if the US would help, and if offered, would the help be accepted.

This is truly awful, I hope that the numbers end up being much lower.

When I read stories like this, I don't object as much to the building codes that so inconvenience me.

I have been pleasantly surprised that I haven't heard any christian types saying this is some sort of message from their god.

I'm not particularly fond of Iran but I'd never rejoice over women and children being killed in any calamity. It is a very sad thing.

I don't mind helping. But when it's over, I want a public "Thank You" from their government. That's all....

Nilsen · « **Reply #10 on:** December 27, 2003, 02:02:39 PM »

I don't mind helping period.

I like hot little blond news reporters.

but do you understand what they are saying Nuke, or are you just drooling at their titties?

Perhaps Baywatch is more your kinda thing?

When I lived in Saudi Arabia, I feared an earthquake ever hitting there. The buildings fell apart without any shaking, there will be a huge loss of life if a decent quake ever hits there.

We never walked along the side of our office building, huge sheets of marble kept falling off and would kill anyone who made the mistake of standing or walking near the building. I walked around it from the parking area at a distance, then approached the door at 90% and moved in quickly.

One building that was almost finished being built just collapsed once, fell into the street. A few died in that one.

I have to imagine building in Iran was similar.

Irans quake is a terrible tragedy to many people (and children) who only want to live their lives and don't give a snot about global politics.
