You wake up. You then whack on the computer and head for your emails. However, before you get to Yahoo Mail, you are told of an earthquake in Italy. Now I’ve studied hazards in Geography, but I’m fairly sure no amount of education can prepare you for the shock of an earthquake at 3:30 in the morning. The current Death toll at the end of this day was at least 150.
Oh and before I forget, was told late last night of the terrible Death of Morgan Tsvangirai’s grandson in a swimming pool. There are very few who can fully emphasise with this man. The other month he lost his wife in a car crash, and now his grandson. How can a man striving to achieve such good have such terrible fate imposed upon him?
Another report from BBC News of a cave roof collapsing on a teenager, who was apparently lighting a fire a 02:15 this morning. It was part of a camping trip in Shropshire. To be fair BBC News are treating the story with respect.
And of course we can’t go a day without a Middle-Eastern tragedy. This time, Sky News reported that 34 people have been killed in car bombs across Baghdad. It’s horrible to think that a city can be subject to such carnage on a daily basis.
Finally, situated glaringly next to the Baghdad report, was a headline on two German’s being killed in Turkey after their drinks had been spiked with methanol.
