Re: Earthquake in pakistan
In a report on Geo, I saw a man with his legs (waist below) stuck between 2 blocks of cement, unable to get out, while about 5 people trying to pull him out. A very sad sight:( A contact from Islamabad, at the scene, on his laptop told us (members at pdf) that they had to cut that guy’s legs to get him out:teary1: 
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
The amazing thing is that people did not even wait for the army or any external help to get there. Apparently, hundreds, if not thousands or ordinary citizens, flocked to the major scenes of devastation to help those who are trapped. It is moments like these that should bring people together.

May Allah swt help those affected by the earthquake 
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
very very sad day.. Inshallah I hope everyone gets the aid they need and they can enjoy the life they did before. :(
Btw, don't you guys find it ironic that some people were saying before when Hurricane Katrina hit the states that America got what it was deserving because of what they were doing around the world.. like Allah was punishing them.
Then a few weeks later, this earthquake happens in Pakistan, at the time of Ramadan, and that too in poor areas?
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
Current death toll according to CNN = 1062
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
^ saby, I just heard it's raining hard in Islamabad and other places and there's a black out right now. What's going on?
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
Funny i didnt see these scenes on CNN at all, rather i had to watch them on ARY. I suppose CNN was waiting to get beef on some shootings or looters etc.
People’s Champ, sadly those people have been around forever. They also said similar things when last year south east asia was hit by tsunamis and earthquakes. Some lonely people who have nothing better to do come up with these theories but the sad part is the western media takes these individual opinions and blow them up to portray them as the opinion of the whole muslim nation.

Re: Earthquake in pakistan
I am proud of the people of Islamabad and Rawalpindi (my town), they showed heart and carried out rescue operations themselves, residents themselves set up a relief camp in F-9 Park.
Our servant in Pakistan lives in Azad Kashmir and he went for vacation to his village (gayoon) and we have not heard from him but its one of the areas that was affected really badly. Please pray for him and his family's safety as well as all others that were affected.
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
Very strong winds, thunderstorm, and hailstorm in Islamabad. Rescue operations are becoming harder due to the extreme weather conditions.
I hope the aid gets to Kashmir on time, because its pretty cold there at night.
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
^ yup...its soo weird :( its raining really hard!

Re: Life is normal, only some minor damage
captain, I think it must have been from the time when there were really no credible information, I mean the initial reports didnt sound as bad, it was mainly concentrating on the margalla towers report, but then all of a sudden the toll started coming from different areas. However, one thing was apparent, Islamabad/pindi werent equipped for a disaster of this scale on the part of the Goverment.
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
I was just talking to my dad and he said that he heard some noise and went outside and people were gathered around a masjid in chandni chowk, the tall minar just fell down! Apparently alot of buildings etc need to be checked now whether they are jolted to the extent that they shouldnt be used.

Re: Earthquake in pakistan
We also have an old house in pindi chowni and alot of the walls fell down (two people got injured), but that house was really old.
I also just heard 200 school girls were buried in Abottabad, they were in the school when the building collapsed.

Re: Earthquake in pakistan
Allah khair karey, I thought I heard "...istan" on the radio at work so I turned it up and turns out there's been an earthquake in Pakistan and some villages have been reduced to rubble...
I was worried sick and phoned home to ask my mom to phone grandma, telephones lines were down but we eventually got through on a neighbours mobile and although it was very strong thank the LORD nobody in our village got killed..
Re: Earthquake in pakistan
I hope all u guppies r ok!!

Mercy upon us God!
