I am so sorry and sad to hear about earthquake and I could hardly believe it was so terrible to my imagination. Bless all the beings still alive and grieve over the dead.

i  wish everythings  will goes well.

God bless you, God bless me;

God bless our fellowmen, God bless everyone!

Amen!

Give me you hands, lend you my hand, hands in hands, we wil get over!

I was on 22/F when the shakes were happening. Precisely it was more a feeling of slow swing of building instead of shaking. Everybody in the flat felt the same.

 

I was in the central quake zone some 15 years ago in Los Angeles, and witnessed the damages and panics. So when I felt the swing today, I prayed for the people in the quake zone, and wished it didn't take place in costal areas.

 

An hours later the news report said it was in Sichuan. A HK friend of mine asked me to play golf in Sichuan this weekend and I didn't go because of other engagements. I sent her a SMS and an hour later she replied being safe in her area. If you have friends or business partners there, remember to send them a greeting.

 

I grasped a Chinese video as a quike reference. It has been 8 hours after the quake now, and youtube has no video report yet. [Video links updated on May 13]
