I'm not gonna say much but let's all pray for these people...
Link

Rest in peace.

P.S. There are already 43 deaths and the number is increasing. 3 of them - fire fighters who were trying to get out people after roof collapsed first time. They got buried when it collapsed further.

UPDATE
45 deaths. About 20-30 people still under the collapsed store.

UPDATE 2
This is how the place looks from above at the moment.

Looks like this forum is full of people who think that I'm pushing them to become religious just because I said one sentence. So I decided I'll just lock this topic since all of them are wrong and probably didn't even read what I replied to some other people who said same thing. And no - I'm not promoting religiousness. You can believe in God, be an atheist or believe in potatoe monster - I really don't care about it. I'm not religious person myself and I never take lines like "let's all pray" as a promotion for religion.

As an Atheist, I don't pray.

However, this is indeed a tragedy, and I will shake hands with any of the survivors, should I meet them.

Oh, so now I'm getting attacked because I'm an Atheist!

I'm sorry people are allowed to have varying opinions.

But anyway, you're a faggot.

You're getting attacked because you're an idiot. Did anyone ask you if you're an Atheist? No. Did anyone come up to you and ask YOU to pray? No. Do you also go to Gay parades and shout "I'm not gay!"? Or if you see an ad on TV about breast cancer awareness do you shout at the TV "I'm not a woman!"?

It's fine that you're an Atheist, but there's no need for you to use a tragedy as an opportunity to tell everyone that you don't believe in God.

Okay, updated my OP. Happy now, jackass?

And yes, I actually do yell out "I'm not gay" when people are talking about gay things. I don't do the woman thing, though... that's just a bit odd.

I didn't mean to promote religiousness. I'm not very religious person myself (I haven't been to church for 3 or 4 years) so I'm not promoting anything. If you understand it like promoting religiousness then it's not my fault.

Certainly the appropriate place to voice your personal spiritual views. Next time try to drop the narcissism and simply sympathize with the affected, no one likes a selfish prick. I don't believe traditional views either, but that doesn't mean I can't respect other's opinions and refrain from interjecting my worldview over tragic occurrences.

Hahahaha, glad I'm getting these reactions. I'll get suspended for it, but I love stirring shit up.

All I fucking did was say that I don't pray. OP told me to pray, I refused. What the actual fuck is the problem?

And I really couldn't give a shit if people think I'm a selfish prick. The only opinion that matters is my own.

This definitely isn't the place and the time when you can just give your bullshit opinion about your and other religions. Many people have died, many people have lost their family members. If you can't show any sympathy for them then maybe it's better if you just shut your mouth and don't say anything...

Goddamn. I wrote out a whole reply, but I know for a fact it would get me a least a month's suspension. I'd rather save that for someone who's existence is slightly meaningful.

I don't think prayer does any help either. I was refering to "My god"...

Only thing we can do is to trust that professionals will get the job done. I don' think we have many other options...

you mean "sciencedamn" wait no...damn implies hell, "science refute" yes, I think I may start using that myself I'm tired of invoking somebody else's god to swear


so what you mean is:
"Sciencerefute. I wrote out a whole reply, but I know for a fact it would get me a least a month's suspension. I'd rather save that for someone who's existence is slightly meaningful."

but really you could have just said "refute. that sucks, hope there are more survivors, well wishes to the families." from the beginning and nobody would be yelling at you an hour ago. could have saved yourself some typing and an edit which was unsuccessful at making you not look like an ass anyway...although the addition of the second line was quite an improvement by being actually relevant

Not saying it was. It was probably as said - lack of drainage and all the sand they were lifting on the roof. Just, you know how people are. Herd factor ^^
