This is a horrible and sad story because the government didn't warn the people. At the very least they could have tried to run to higher ground. I wouldn't know if there is such a thing as higher ground but at the very least some of the people could have tried.
We just don't know how lucky we really are until you see these kind of things that happen in other parts of the world.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SO HURT BY THIS HORRIBLE STORM NOW AND FOREVER AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!

I can not see 22000 people running to higher ground if they were warned. Was there even a infrastructure to warn them? Maybe climate change could have something to do with this.

I can guarantee you that god will do nothing to bless or help these people. As a human being we could definitely do something to help.

This ruling entity in Myanmar has the audacity to have to make people go through Visa Bureaucracies to aid. Your people are dead int he tens of thousands and you are worried about paperwork! These pigs that run that country. A lot of critics of the US but what they do not know is that money of regular Americans (tax money) are always at the aid of others BEFORE THEMSELVES. God Bless America and the Americans that live here. And Damn the military junta and government of Myanmar for holding off on the warning, you sick masochistic elitists.

Once again you start to make a good point and then bring in the talking snake, burning bushes and this god jerk. Lets stick to reality and leave the super natural and santa claus for the governor when you need rain next oh or pray for it.

Sounds like New Orleans to me we americans like to drown poor people of color too. We sent in our Iraqi fightin junta to New Orleans along with Blackwater.
