On 6 April, L’Aquila in italy had an earthquake of 6.3 magnitude. There are over 200 people died and destruction of buildings in this incident. There are many people became homeless. It made me thinking about the earthquake which happened in Sichuan, China in last year (12 May).

As we all can see the power of the nature again! When and where the earthquake would happen seems could not predictable accurately at the moment though scientists have many hi-tect equipments to help them for analysis.

On Wednesday (8Apr) (3 days after the earthquake), there was a Mass funeral for the dead.
