Gempa di Jogja

Indonesia Earthquake Kills at Least 2,700
YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- A powerful earthquake flattened buildings in central Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least 2,700 people and injuring thousands more in the country's worst disaster since the 2004 tsunami.

The magnitude-6.2 quake struck at 5:54 a.m. near the ancient city of Yogyakarta 250 miles east of the capital, Jakarta, as most people were sleeping, causing death and damage in many nearby towns.

Houses, hotels and government buildings collapsed, sending hysterical people running through the streets. Many roads and bridges were destroyed, hindering efforts to get taxis and pickup trucks filled with wounded to hospitals overflowing with patients.

Kesian Indonesia. Lepas satu..satu.. Masa tengok berita di Buletin Utama TV3 tadi ingatkan bencana alam tentang letusan Gunung Merapi yang sedang aktif tu, tapi bukan, ini gempa bumi! Baru je bulan lepas saya melawat kota seni mistik purba Jawa, Jogja (blog/foto). Memori melawat candi purba; Borobudur & Prambanan, Kraton kesultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, shopping di sekitar Jalan Malioboro masih segar lagi dalam ingatan, ataupun pada gambar foto. Masa tu dah mula kecoh-kecoh di akhbar tempatan tentang ramalan aktiviti-aktiviti Gunung Merapi, tapi kini sesuatu yang tak disangka-sangka pula terjadi.

Pening kepala Pak Presiden, SBY.

Moga dijauhkanlah sebarang bencana alam di bumi Malaysia..
