How can one comprehend 40,000 deaths? To really understand the breadth of the destruction, at least if you live in the United States, I turn to Flickr and YouTube. You can search for Sichuan earthquake or 四川地震 photos on Flickr. Although both searches terms are technically the same, the results differ. You can perform the same search on YouTube as well for Sichuan earthquake and 四川地震 videos.
To assist in the relief efforts, please consider a donation to the Silicon Valley Tsinghua Network’s China Earthquake Relief Fund, the American Red Cross or a charity of your choice.
