I turned on the TV while taking a break from work. I found that CCTV 1 was having this special broadcasting program for the earthquake. it's showing the latest info and news from Sichuan province. due to the serious high magnitude of 7.8 earthquake, there are disastrous damages to the epicenter. By now they still don't have picture nor videos from there due to ruined road access to wenchuan county.
cctv has reported that the number of deaths has reached 8533 with time stamped at 11:40pm.
The department of transportation and police is trying to keep the major road access smooth to allow first aids and goods to be transported to Sichuan province. The entire country is trying to help the people in the disaster area.
my condolences to all the people who died in this unexpected disaster and their family members.
so the info of the earthquake is May 12 14:28pm (GMT+8) of magnitude 7.8.
USGS' first hand info was very accurate back then!
updated: the tremor depth was only about 29 km below surface. compared to the 1976 tangshan disastrous earthquake of a similar magnitude, that depth was 11 km and over 242,000 of people died in the tangshan earthquake.
Premier Wen has already arrived at Sichuan to work on relief work with officials. He reached Sichuan about 7:18pm in the evening May 12.
