Wow. Just... Wow. For me, the irony of this is that the current death toll from this earthquake/tsunami are about one third the death toll of that earthquake in Bam, Iran one year ago.

UPDATE: CNN.com is reporting that the death toll is up to at least eleven thousand.
UPDATE: Fox News is reporting that the death toll is up to at least twenty-two thousand.
