China earthquake clips compilation

This is a compilation made on 5.19.2008 for the Chinese 3 minute silence that took place at 2:28pm. People and traffic paused in remembrance of the innocent victims.

WENCHUAN, China — China stood still Monday in mourning over tens of thousands of earthquake victims, and the government appealed for more international aid to cope with the country's deadliest disaster in a generation.

Construction workers, shopkeepers and bureaucrats across the bustling nation of 1.3 billion people paused for three minutes at 2:28 p.m. _ exactly one week after the magnitude 7.9 quake hit central China.

Air-raid sirens and the horns of cars and buses sounded in memory of the dead.

In Beijing's Tiananmen Square, thousands of people bowed their heads and then began shouting "Long Live China!" and thrusting their fists in the air. Traffic on the capital's highways and roads stopped, and some drivers got out of their cars.

The confirmed death toll from the May 12 quake rose to 34,073, the State Council, China's Cabinet, said Monday. Another 9,500 remained buried in Sichuan and more than 29,000 were missing, the provincial government said, according to Xinhua.

Officials have said they expect final death toll to exceed 50,000, with more than 245,000 reported as injured. Quake-related losses to companies totaled $9.5 billion, Deputy Industry Minister Xi Guohua said.

I was dissing the government, not the people, I see that wasn't clear.

[USAidiotnomore]

Your right. It certainly was not clear. We are not ignorant pigs. We are people just as anyone else. The ignorant pigs are the members of "the party".

Chinese government is constantly attacking the United States through the internet. It is about time something is done about it. I am very pleased that an earthquake took out a good number of those wreched beasts of burden. Too bad the quake did not target the government. Chinese people are just as guilty cause they let their government get away with it.

[USAidiotnomore]

So you think ALL Chinese are like that? stereotype! There is good and evil, moral and immoral in EVERY country. Do not group all of us together. So ALL Americans are fat and ignorant? After reading your comments I'd believe it...

[moderjoker]

This is getting annoying. China is just a name and a bunch of boundaries as every other nation in world. Stop saying shit against certain ethnic group or nation, stop involving this in a politic diss-cuss and think about innocent people and donate at least one dollar. This is not the place to try to be a youtube toughguywhoknowswhattosay. FUCK YOU.

[USAidiotnomore]

Very true. The country name is man-made and the border is an invisible line. Sometimes Youtube is %75 forum and %25 video...

[KirbyZhang]

USAidiotnomore please remove the disgusting comments from amerikkans. they are fucking skunks. let them all shoot each other to death!

[NateCUnder]

ur defy a biggest moron person i've ever met.

[beybladetime]

@KirbyZhang You listen here, I don't hate the chinese, america doesn't hate you, there are mad. I may be young but I know things you should know to. Killing 89% of the worlds population. Doesn't sound bad? Have you ever heard of the new world order. Thats what will happen. China shoudn't drop the debt if you think thats what im trying to say, its just that you may think your economy is in perfect health. It won't be the same in Next year. What im trying to say is that this conflict has to end.

@KirbyZhang

Not all americans are like that, there are people in America who care for these things. I want to help. And I'm sure there are others willing to, also. So please don't blame our entire race, thank you. :)

[clamzcoolio]

@sparven123 Uh, like what? Give examples, please.

[samanthacoravr]

that song is realy pretty what is it called

[freethemind7]

what is this song called?

[freethemind7]

People are asking "Where is God?"

He's with those who lost their loved ones. God didn't tell people where to live or build their houses. The world is a wild and dangerous place. Things happen. If a person was mauled to death by a tiger, it's not because God told the tiger to do it. The tiger had a free will. The planet shifts and moves. It's a tragedy what happened. Life sucks and it's hard. I will forever remember this video and pray for china. It's not fair that this befell them.

[drfaust8]

What song is this? It's beautiful.
