I read a telex msg saying that the search for survivors already stopped due the cold temperatures. Rescuers figured out nobody can survive three days in the cold under the bricks.

It's obviously some sort of American/Zionist plot. ~sigh Those infidels and thier earthquake causing technology will pay dearly!..~sigh
This just goes to show you the difference between the third world and the first world. A 6.5 quake in California kills 2 people ,..In Iran 40k+..Perhaps this is finally the last straw and the Iranian people will finally overthrow the corrupt mullahs who run that country. Maybe instead of spending billions on nukes they can invest in building materials a bit stronger than mud bricks.

Third world or just not cali or tokyo..... I live in the midwest US, I think if we had a quake of 6.5 there'd be just as many deaths, not every 1st world dwelling is retrofitted and ready for a quake.... in fact I'd like to see the stats on that....
