God please have mercy on their souls.

It's weird that an earthquake on the small island of Haiti killed 223,000 but and earthquake in China killed 'only' hundreds.

Why is that weird? If the earthquake had happened under red square in Peking, imagine the death toll. China is a big country, little earthquake.

Construction standards (or lack thereof) make a huge difference. Recall that a few weeks ago, there was a huge (8.8) earthquake in Chile, with a death toll of "only" a few hundred.
