Since when does wealth and development have ANYTHING to do with deaths in an earthquake?
Is that why the poor and undeveloped Haiti lost over 200,000? Oh, btw, most of the 30,000 or so predicted deaths (dead plus missing) weren't due to the earthquake, but the tsunami that followed....
And how about the nearly 300,000 deaths in southeast Asia in 2004?
