Dujiangyan earthquake story has me crying this morning
I was visiting the NPR website this morning and clicking around on the various stories, when I happened to listen to this story about the China earthquake: Couple Frantic to Find Loved Ones in Rubble. It is a long piece, and if you can't listen because you are at work, you can read the reporter's notes on the story here: Dujiangyan Parents' Search for Child

The story speaks for itself and frankly I am too sad after listening to it to comment. Other than to say Sun's Financial Diary is soliciting earthquake relief donations.

    Yes, I listened yesterday afternoon with tears running down my face. This was one of the most emotionally draining reports I have recently heard.

    I was driving and crying while listening to this story yesterday. It is so sad. Thanks for posting the links for others to hear this emotional story.

    I lived in Hong Kong when they had the last BIG earthquake in China in 1976. I was only 10 yo but it left an indelible mark on me. Then when I was in LA during the Northridge quake, I truly understood what everyone went through and Northridge was a smaller one. Between the tsunami in Indonesia, cyclone in Myanmar and this earthquake, mother nature's fury is going to have far reaching consequence for the region.
