Shocking . .and sad..!! InChengdu, China a powerful earthquake brought buildings, school and a chemical plant down on Monday. Killing nearly 10 thousand ppl.. and trapped untold numbers in mounds of concrete, steel and earth in the worst earth quake ever in 3 decades. The 7.9 magnitude quake devastated a region of small cities and towns set amid steep hills north of Sichuan’s provincial capital of Chengdu. It happened in the mid afternoon.. and it can be felt as far as Vietnam.. and in Beijing. The folks in Beijing were told to evacuate.
