It indeed is a terrible tragedy.

One factor is the world population is continually growing, and more people in less space tends to magnify natural and man-made disasters. Another factor is surely that nearly instant world-wide news intensifies scattered disasters and brings them home to us in what seems like greater numbers.

I hope the upside to rapid news will be rapid help for surviving victims.
