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.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

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

So many messages were written in discussion about war and only 3 about such big disaster.
