"The rescue brings the total number of people saved to 133." That's so terribly disappointing.

I would have expected them to have pulled thousands of people from the rubble.

Sad, yes. "Disappointing" sells short the amazing efforts of those who worked dilligently to save those 133. - musubi Jan 27, 15:41
I wish it was more, of course; but, with so many fully collapsed buildings, it wasn't promising. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 15:39

  - Spock can. Are you saying that Superman is inferior to Spock? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:46 1
    - But of course, but not in everything. -- nm - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 15:49
i thought that too, but i think that's some official number. i'm sure locals have pulled out many more before the aid workers got there. (i hope) -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 15:38 2
- I know that a lot of locals where doing that before official rescue got there. -- nm - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 15:39 1
  - of course, immediately. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 15:39
