Amazing. Possibly more than 44,000 dead. They'll probably never know the full extent, either, as entire families could have been washed out to sea.
Is anyone else somewhat creeped out that the US news didn't really pick this up? The BBC did extensive reporting for hours on this disaster while CNN/Fox/MSN spent much more time reporting on the "lackluster holiday sales increase" of only ~3%. Yawn.
