Good to know that. An earthquake of 7.8 intensity would definitely be in top 50 earthquakes of recorded history.

India delusion with Pak borders never end. Even in this report is mentioned that but actually the area was in iran near Pak border.

People are dying in your country because of this earthquake and all you can think of is point scoring with a "lol"?

There were some home made videos and pics, the whole area seemed flattened, roofs were over the cars, pickups were swaying from one side to the other...
