I'm sure everyone has heard about it. It's a huge deal in my opinion that this has happened. To read up, check out the following articles:
Nepal earthquake: Homeless urgently need tents; death toll above 5,200 - CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/29/asia/nepal-earthquake/index.html)
Nepal Villages Cut Off by Earthquake Wait for Aid as Death Toll Passes 4,000 (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/28/world/asia/nepal-earthquake.html?_r=0)
This is a disaster that has surpassed the death toll of events like 9/11(2,996 deaths (https://www.google.com/search?q=death+toll+of+9%2F11&oq=death+toll+of+&gs_l=serp.3.3.0l10.8710.10340.0.12968.14.10.0.3.3.0.144.982.4j5.9.0.msedr...0... 1c.1.64.serp..2.12.999.eV-TFIofYk8)) and the sinking of the Titanic(over 1,500 deaths (https://www.google.com/search?q=death+toll+of+titanic&oq=death+toll+of+titanic&gs_l=serp.3..0.53424.55370.0.55536.12.8.1.3.3.0.103.739.7j1.8.0.msedr...0...1c.1 .64.serp..0.12.760.I_LzT0zkC2M)). It is a terrible disaster, but I don't think enough people are really understanding the impact of it. This might be because it didn't happen in America and that's why a lot of people here aren't really discussing it much, but if you have thoughts you'd like to share about this disastrous quake, then feel free to leave them here.
