Iran sits on major geological faultlines and has suffered several devastating earthquakes, including a 6.6 magnitude quake in 2003 that flattened the city of Bam, in Iran's far southeast, killing more than 25,000 people.

Wow

Sad to hear so many people have already died. Thoughts go out to the lost one's families and hope any injured people get recovery.

 

[Brazil]

Fuck. So many tragedies this week. I hope the number of casualties doesn't rise much above the mark it's at now...

Brazil.

We don't have to deal with natural disasters of any kind, other than occasional floods and landslides (due to lack of infrastructure and proper urban planning).

I guess we are blessed somehow.

Jesus fuck it's been a bad day for the world

But then again you've got nasty snakes and spiders and stuff.

Natural disasters wise, yeah, we're good.
A lot of other things to shit all over us though.

Hum, no? I mean it's not as bad as Australia, but still. The local fauna isn't exactly the most friendly either. Might just only be relevant to the rainforest tho. But i remember running into a few nasty critters.

Now you're spot on. The biggest populated areas in Brazil are no worse than other big cities around the world, really.

Going off topic here guys...

 

[Dead Man]

Damn. Hope the death toll stays low, the Bam earthquake in 2003 was only 6.6.

Neither Iran nor Pakistan are part of the middle east.

If you say so. Many would disagree, at least in Iran. But I guess nomenclature is the important thing to comment on.

 

[bigboss370]

I'm reading that so far ~40 people were killed

 

[pestul]

Terrible. I always get worried when it seems to have 'quieted down' a bit on the earthquake front.

there was a quake just last week though in Iran wasn't there?

The only mention on yahoo's news front page is this:

Pakistan bears brunt of Iranian earthquake, 13 killed

Pathetic.
