Tsunami, cont.

Among the tens of thousands missing or dead are these Britons, including immediate family members of Richard Attenborough. CNN is reporting three-thousand Americans are still missing, placing this calamity on par with September 11, 2001 for loss of life. And, of course, there are the vast majority of the dead whose remains will never be found and whose stories will never properly be told because poverty and circumstance place their lives beyond the sphere of the lucky few who get to spend their morning web-surfing.

The scale of this thing is beyond comprehension. As usual, blogs and "the internet" come closest to capturing what little I can understand.

Corporations give to tsunami relief
International Rescue Committee
Oxfam
Premier clubs help relief fund
Sumankumar's yak pad
Tsunami Disaster in Penang Island
Tsunami Information Resource Page

And I have no idea what to make of this:

"But we're not too worried about staying - we've got a holiday to have."
