While some of the photos have been splashed across many websites, Michael includes some lesser known footage and information. On the China Digital Times website, Michael is quoted as saying,
"With this video, I hope to bring more attention to the pain and hardship millions of refugees from and around Sichuan have to go through to rebuild their homes, governments, hospitals, and schools. In nine minutes, you can see the horror and destruction that nature imposed on humanity in a rural yet densely-populated corner of southwest China. This was of course not an attempt to tell the whole story but I hope it gives a sense of the heartbreak and devastation of “a nation under attack (by nature).”
As Michael asks, please share this video with your friends.
Some friends have mentioned that it is hard to imagine such a catastrophe when it happened in a land so far away and unknown to them. While that may be true, I ask this question tonight: Are we ready for the "big one" here in the USA?
Watch the video and then tell me. Are we really prepared? I don't think so.
