How do you begin cleaning up this mess?

I don\'t even like wiping my bathroom counter.

Looks like someone dropped a bomb, the casualties in these cities are ENORMOUS!

These pics are from Indonesia if Im not mistaken, the country to suffer the most with over 80 000 deaths (actually, they are saying 100 000 dead in indonesia alone, that would make the total figure almost 200 000!)!

It\'s over 120,000 now and rising. One of the worst disasters I think I\'ve ever seen :( They also said that the decaying bodies everywhere could spread disease, possibly killing THOUSANDS more.

They said that the amount of people that could die from the diseases could match the amount that died from the tsunami. Think that was back when it was 90,000 or something but still a sh*t load of people.

there are 5 million people living in the streets without grub.  

Have you guys scene some of the bad pics of the bodies washed ashore?  It\'s pretty horrific.  I\'d post the link, but it\'s not so good.  A bunch of debris and a bunch of bloated bodies.  

There is nothing worse than a drowning victims body.  I\'ve covered numerous when I was in the news biz and it\'s pretty gross.  Everything swells up 3-4 times the size.  ANd man if you are wearing a belt when you go under, that is nasty my friend.

I saw the pictures, 40-50 bodies laying in the water among the debris. :(

A Swedish guy wrote to Expressen a few days ago from Khao Lak, he was helping out and picking up the bodies, he said there were 2000 bodies in the water off the shore, many many children among them. Imagine doing the work he does, and thousands of other Indonesians, Sri Lankans, Indians and the Thai are doing.
