A 6.8 aftershock was been reported in Taiwan. The epicenter was close to the first quake. More damage and collapsed buildings. Read more about on Yahoo news. Doesn't look good folks.

Interesting, the dramatic difference in body counts between Taiwan & Turkey. All things considered, where would you rather live...?

There's no safe place to live. Taiwan just had 2 more aftershocks. There's a lot of collapsed buildings with people buried inside. Death toll will no doubt rise. Computer part manufacturers are hurting, which means Silicon Valley will be hurting, woe, woe, woe.
