“He sheltered her under an umbrella as she wailed” — From the New York Times, a buried schoolhouse in Dujiangyan. After at least 3 earthquakes, magnitudes 7.9, 6.1 and 5.0, Sichuan province bears at least 12,000 deaths. Near the same school in Dujiangyan, anger over a man-made disaster: “They have money for prostitutes and second wives but they don’t have money for our children.” 8 hours after the quake, Zhongnanhai blog notes there are no live CCTV reporters on the scene: criticizing CCTV’s coverage: “Forget about the standard journalistic procedure of answering the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. The lead in any such story at state-run media is always about the leadership… Hu and Wen.” In the absence of reliable information, talk of unheeded omens and a flush of conspiracy theories. South China Morning Post has a slideshow of disaster photographs. Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) diverts a team from AIDS work in Guangxi province to the relief effort in Wenchuan county, Sichuan province.
