One Week Ago
"I was not ready for the real impact of hearing all those horns and alarms start at exactly the same time - it was like the whole country was crying out together, still trying to grasp the magnitude of the horror that shook the country exactly a week ago." -- Melanie Gao.
I've heard from several people about what happened today. I can't imagine.
I read this morning that they found a pregnant woman who had been trapped underneath the rubble for 160 hours. She gave birth shortly after they freed her. That leaves me in awe of the tenacity of the human spirit.
