Sad. Unfortunately, this is a relatively common occurrence in Bangladesh with the a) low-lying land, b) proximity to water, and c) incredibly dense population (150M people in a space smaller than Iowa).
Quoted: In 131 years, Bangladesh has lost 200 million people to 80 cyclones, according to a tally by Chinese state-run media.

Heard about this crazy pileup on the news. Amazing that no one was seriously injured.
Quoted: Conditions on I-90 east of North Bend included gusty winds, blowing snow and compact snow and ice on the highway when the big rig jackknifed and collided with the trooper's car, Merrill said.
...
The trooper, who was unhurt, had been assisting a car that had rolled over about 15 minutes earlier at the same site, Merrill said. A truck towing a trailer came next, hitting the side of the tractor-trailer rig. Other vehicles soon followed, resulting in the 30-vehicle pileup, he said.More info (with video) here: http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_011607WABsnow_i90closedSW.4772992b.html

My latest blog entry...
1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: It hit me like a ton of bricks today - this will be my first time voting in Washington State elections. So, it seems problematic that I know more about Gov. Corzine's record in New Jersey or Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to seek a third term in New York than I do about Gregoire and Rossi.
