Numbers made personal

When we hear news of tragedies like China's recent earthquake a number like 50,000 dead is hard to fathom, it becomes a statistic. Scroll through this collection of photos and each of those 50,000 become a person again. Warning, the pictures are often graphic.

What a tragedy.

You're right that the numbers and distance make it seem so insignificant.. but the pics make it so real.

I couldn't make it past the first 20%.
