Not just hundreds but thousands of people have died. At least 8,500.

One of the reasons I posted it was because several people on here had said they would like to experience an earthquake which I thought was a very strange thing to say, and this terrible event puts those comments into perspective (I hope).

Here's me thinking you where just posting it to raise awareness of those people affected in the earthquake, but no, it's to show people you where right. Shame.

Also, I think it is fair to say that I was really shocked when I read that people would like to be in the middle of an earthquake just for the experience.  It certainly stuck in my mind.

A knee-jerk response from someone who probably didn't take the time to read the entire conversation.

As someone who has experienced an earthquake in Spain, I stick by my comments and say that given the hypothetical scenario that the earthquake does not kill or do any major structural damage, I would find it enjoyable to be in one as I did with the previous.

This news provides no perspective on the conversation in question

Edited and re-edited and farther re-edited.

Erm? I edited the use of one word which did not at all change the point given. Typical you dodging the point at hand as usual

I don't want to move away from this topic, as it's pretty important I feel...

The death toll is now 7,800
