Yup... its the fate of the third world. First world countries have much better buildings and safety standards.
Its an endless cycle actually... because they are poor, they cannot afford good housing. And when disaster strikes, everything is wiped out and they are even more poor again.

Indonesian villages don't have quake-resistant buildings, unlike in USA or Japan.
if same quake happens in USA or japan, death toll will be much lower..
Me too, just wish all of us can hv a minute silent and pray regards of what religion we R in, to relief their pain and anger. Imagine death toll 5100 ppl reported and still counting, is going to take year to recover.
My heart goes out to the Indonesians who have suffered tremendously in the recent 12 months due to Tsunami, Bird Flu and now this Earthquake. There is also a potential volcano eruption.
