55 thousand........................

Oh man, greatest killer........

It's not included missing person yet......................

This a few day I don't want to watch TV anymore. Keep seeing all those dead body, look like they are helpless. Baby crying, parent crying........

Watching that gave me heart pain and realize how difficult our life is.

Nothing we could do from home. Let donate and pray ( eventhough I never like to pray cause never come true )

May all your soul rest in peace........ ( I know their soul didn't rest in peace since they struggle a lot.

Life is like a peice of Uncured Live Rock [ from LFS ], you never know what you gonna get.........

Indonesian officials have revised the island nation's death toll dramatically upward to 27,174, boosting the overall toll from Sunday's tsunamis to 56,029. Rescuers today finally reached remote areas, like Aceh province. Once there, they found massive destruction. "The center of Banda Aceh has been absolutely devastated," reported CNN's Mike Chinoy.

updated as of 1142hrs local time.

"Tsunami death toll surges past 68,000 amid epidemic fears" - Headline on CNA webby.

Allow me to sidetrack a bit. it's rather interesting to see that for once CNN is not as updated as the asian couterparts like CNA (fyi, CNN currently reports the deathtoll at 56,029). Perhaps amidst the chaos, this is an opportunity for CNA and other regional broadcasters to prove their timeliness and accuracy in reporting.

I've been watching most updates on BBC and CNA. Gave up on CNN during the Gulf War. Their reporting are somehow biased.

quite true about CNN being biased in their reporting.

the early snippets of the tsunamis chaos showed only expats in Phuket.

it is the locals who really got the short end of the stick. :cry2:

come on CNN, be realistic .... :angry::angry:
