Thousands estimated dead in Uttarakhand landslide- and flood- scenario.

[FrisianDude]

No, but the heavy deforestation in the region caused the soil to loosen up, thus leaving the region prone to landslides caused by the flood.

This is probably the case, aye.

 

[CJ1145]

What do you think is the cause of this?

They were praying to the wrong god.

It took two whole pages to become completely irreverent. We're slipping, Taleworlds.

 

[Adorno]

We're slipping.

A slippery slope...

 

[lordJehovah]

Indeed.

Anyways, what do you think about this tragedy? Who do you think is to blame?

 

[Mage246]

Planet Earth. Time to dump more toxic waste as retribution.

 

[Sir Saladin]

Put eight very small news reporters in each helicopter next time.

 

[Swadius 2.0]

You could just buy more helicopters, or make the reporters bring their own next time.

 

[Mage246]

Or develop some kind of reporter-helicopter hybrid (reportopter?) and thus solve the problem for all time.

 

[lordJehovah]

You could just buy more helicopters, or make the reporters bring their own next time.

This is India, not your average first-world country like USA or Germany. Rescue work is already costly, and buying helicopters would make a bigger hole in the government's pocket. Plus, India has medium-budget news channels, not the big-time tycoons like CBS, CNN or Al-Jazeera.
