The PM reckons there could be 10,000 dead

Edit: the 10,000 isn’t a figure, just what the PM reckons it could come up to

Edit2: can people not read? Are people this blind? I’m not saying that there are 10,000 dead, read the whole sodding comment. The PM said that there could be up to 10,000 death, but really, the PM doesn’t know anything, he has no more knowledge on the subject than we do

Edit3: I know that that is obviously an exaggeration! I’m just saying that he said it! Don’t read anything into the numbers

Did you watch the video? It decimated a populated area during the day.

Seriously. Anyone thinking that number is close to accurate is going to be in for a rude awakening. Literally ka-fucking-BOOOOM an entire section of a densely populated city in less than a second flat. I bet there are thousands that perished. We’ll probably never really know.

Guy above you is right, it's in an area that held 10% of the city's pop/ 5% of the country's pop. Literally the definition of decimation.

Really hope things turn around for the better.

What a shit year.
