Earthquake in Sichuan

As everyone should know, an earthquake has triggered of in Sichuan(those who read the papers, anyway). 8000 people are missing, 12,000++ people died, more are dying, and even more our injured. The level of the earthquake was 7.8, higher then the tragic tsunami that struck Indonesia in 05, which was 7.2. Both caused a reasonable amount of damage. It was quite sad also. No, I didn't burst into tears, but the reporter there managed to catch a very touching picture of a pair of hands holding each other. One was bruised and dirty, and the person was buried under a pile of rubble; the other was very clean, and was alive, well, and not hurt.
