That's the most horrific thing I've ever seen.

God that's sobering (and maybe the 'here's to beer' ads are in rather poor taste here). One of the most awful things to have happened in my lifetime. It's simply unbelievable to see how awful the consequences have been.

I was a 4-year-old living in Poland at the time; one of my earliest memories from childhood was standing in really long lines at the local clinic for my government-ordered iodine shots. This was over 2 weeks after the fact though - too little, too late, for a lot of people.

Yes I read an article on NG. It's very sad just how many people were affected and the huge irresponsibility on the administration's part. Just like Katrina, it's incredible how some "powerful" nations can't seem to take care of some catastrophies.
