A earthquake of 6.3 magnitude destroyed both modern and ancient buildings in and around L'Aquila, Italy.
Which is located in an area surrounded by the Apennines' tallest mountains.

The number of deceased reached 207 people. Very sad. Among these people there are registered some emigrants from Eastern Europe. A 4-year old girl reported to have died. New seismic motions were registered today, happily small ones. Berlusconi denied to receive aids from other countries. He said "the “proud people of Italy, thanks to their country’s prosperity would be able to deal the problem by ourselves."
People who remained without dwells were given tents.
Madonna today donated $500,000 to victims of the Earthquake. Nice from her part. Already 272 people died, 15,000 remained homeless. Berlusconi in person arrived at the place and supported the victims. He made sure that everything necessary is provided.
He said "They have medicaments. They have hot food. They have shelter for the night". Yet, I consider it stupid to refuse aid from other countries.
Yes it was quite a shock, and it was broadcasted widely in Malta because several Maltese including a nun live in that area
Well Nature ain't always nice with you
So many messages were written in discussion about war and only 3 about such big disaster.

nature is blame for this disaster and more than to be sorry we can not do anything! are forces of nature against them we can't do nothing! while wars start because of people !due to some purposes and to some political misunderstanding people die! against them we can do something ...so it deserve to be discussed more!
Tricker is right. There is nothing that we can do to go against mother nature. We can just prepare for any eventual backlash from the many many years that we have abused her. Let us be more vigilant in NOT doing any more damage than we have already done.
