Comments and Opinion:
I liked this article because it shows us how powerful is the nature. I think this earthquake was the most dangerous natural disaster. My father had been in Bali, Indonesia 2 weeks before this catastrophe and he told me how beautiful was that place and now, everything is destroyed. I also think that all the countries need to make a reunion and help more this poor countries, like to help to rebuild their natural beauty.
