Another Earth quake in Pakistan
Pakistan quake kills 170
An injured man comforting his relative after an earthquake hit the
historic hill town of Ziarat in Balochistan province yesterday.
The 6.4-magnitude pre-dawn quake flattened mud houses and triggered landslides in the province, killing or injuring their occupants as they slept. Survivors were sent screaming into the streets in panic,
eyewitnesses said. At least eight villages were badly hit by the massive tremors, officials said, voicing fears that some 46,000 people living in the wider region could now be in need of shelter and other assistance. Dilawar Kakar, mayor of Ziarat, about 50km north of the provincial
capital Quetta, said the death toll stood at 170, while about 400 people in the area were injured.
God bless them

If you can say it that way, it was in remote site with few casualties.
WAM, Pakistan, Pakistan (Reuters) – Pakistani army helicopters scoured mountains on Thursday for survivors of a powerful earthquake that killed about 215 people as stunned survivors sifted through the rubble of their homes.
The 6.4 magnitude quake struck the Ziarat valley in the southwestern province of Baluchistan at dawn on Wednesday, leveling about 1,500 mud-walled houses, triggering landslides and leaving nearly 15,000 people homeless.
Efforts shifted from rescue to relief as hundreds of injured people were taken to hospitals. But a senior military official said searches were being conducted in the mountains above the valley for any stranded villagers.
Most of the valley's 50,000 people slept out in freezing temperatures on Wednesday night, either because their homes were destroyed or damaged, or because about 20 aftershocks, the biggest of 6.2 magnitude, left them too scared to sleep indoors.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
