Fires in Greece: More than 60 people dead

The fires in Greece are becoming a disaster. This NASA satelite picture (MODIS Rapid Response Team) can't show you the harm done to Greek people and their property. More than 60 people have already died and many, many more people have lost their properties, their houses, their crops, everything...

This is a very sad time for Greece :(

Earthquake in Peru - August 15, 2007

This is a video from the Peru earthquake (15 August 2007)
:(


My name is Daniel and I live in Lima, Peru. I was at work when the earthquake started, this video is from the earthquake. It was horrible, everything was shaking violently, it was like being on a boat in the middle of the sea, things started falling down. An alarm went off and the longer it lasted, the harder it was to remain calm, I've never been through anything like this ever in my life.
I would also like to mention that we need your help. The earthquakes we have had have caused massive destruction, specially near the the south of the capital where 80% of the population has been left homeless, not to mention 400 dead and thousands of injured people. These people need water, food and something to stay warm, please contact any organization you know of to learn how you can help.
