And I thought the original figure of 7,000 was a HUGE number, then when it jumped to 23,000 that was simply unimaginable..and now 116,000, I don't even know what to say..

Yeah, very very sad... Hopefully it does not come near the death toll of that one China earthquake... (300,000+)

x 116,000 +

I am still having a hard time accepting that this really happened.

125k here.

It'll climb higher after the disease that gets spread from all the wreckage kills even more people.

 

[AdamSnow]

Unfortunately that number will continue to rise each day... the more remote places they get too, the more people reported missing... and most of all, disease...

Such a tragedy... I too, am having a hard time accepting that it happened.

You have friends and family in Thailand, don't you? Do you know of anyone, personally, that was lost?
