CHONGQING - A peasant woman has been buried alive under more than 100 tonnes of garbage, which tumbled down as she walked past a dump.

For the next six hours, more than 500 villagers and rescuers dug through the waste to locate Madam Wu Dengli, according to the Chongqing Morning Post.

But when they found her, Madam Wu, who was in her 50s, was dead.

Witnesses from Donglin village in Chongqing municipality said they had seen flames at the top of the mountain of rubbish just before it collapsed on the woman in what seemed like 'a volcanic eruption'.

The flames had engulfed her in seconds, the paper reported the witnesses as saying.

A 50 year old woman dies and the first five posts are juvenile, crass attempts at humor? I guess because she was a "chink" that makes it funny to you? Tell you what....post a prayer request when your mom dies so we can all make fun of her.

So glad you made your statement. I was reading those first five responses and was astounded at the callous disregard and disrespect shown by those posters. Shameful! Bless the unfortunate Chinese peasant woman...

"A 50 year old woman dies and the first five posts are juvenile, crass attempts at humor?"

Four posts, two posters.

And I agree, the posts weren't funny. They need some work.

Thank you, I was thinking the same as you. How callous! I wonder if they would be laughing so hard if it was their mother?

It is callous mentalities such as those which are going to ruin our society and usher in Hillaryism. After all, since people are no more than mere things to bring humor and snickers to our jaded and inured souls, we might as well burn the Declaration of Independence since apparently there is no real worth and value to human life. Those two need to rise up to the standards required and expected of all civilized people and be ashamed and apologize.

Tell us ahead of time how you are going to react to the first soldier who is killed when we invade Iraq.

I agree. They are disgusting human beings. Probably a bunch of snot nosed teenagers with mental problems.

No, just a regular American who doesn't countenance the devaluing of human life.

Well said, KC. We all at times say things from the top of our heads which we afterwards regret saying. May we find inspiration, patience, and forebearance from your example here.
