Chinese 6.6 Earthquake

An earthquake struck southwest China's province of Sichuan. The quake has reportedly killed 186 people and injured 11,200, those numbers are expected to rise as well. Part of the problem is that there are still landslides and boulders falling from the mountains so emergency crews can't get in to help survivors. So far the Chinese government has not offered much help in the matter, leaving the disaster for the province to deal with. On a side note, the province is home to the famed Panda Bears and many reaserch facilities are in this region. Thankfully the Panda's have taken no damage from the quake. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/21/world/asia/china-sichuan-earthquake/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
