wow

This is clearly the story of the week, if not the year. And everybody and their mother is covering it.
Just a little perspective:
• Lincoln Financial Field completely sells out at 68,532 people.
• Last year, 75,000 people died around the world from natural disasters, including the 40,000 that died in the Bam, Iran earthquake. (Link from Jeff Jarvis' Buzz Machine.)
Compare that with the 1213 dead in the US and Carribbean during Hurricane Season 2004.
I think it was Plato who said, "Ain't Mother Nature a bitch?"
