CHINA, EARTHQUAKE AND CENSORED IMAGES

Only last month an incredible Earthquake strike in China, in Sichuan’s region. The earthquake was one of biggest ever register from man, 8° … The first western journalists said that nowhere images because ( probably ) Chinese goverment didn’t want to show its. I was born in a Earthqauake’s region: Umbria, in Center of Italy, where, sometimes there are tese disasters. The first one i remember was 30 years ago; i was only a child and the towns where earthqurke takes off with more power, only after some days Firemen can goes here, there where few elis, at that time, but I know if an earthquak comes, the first thing to happen is: all comunications will break down, with the streets, as if it’s with little power. If an 8° eathquake as that strike in somewhere, all buildings can downs, all streets can downs, and all communications; aqueducts; oil pipilines; gas pipelines; can be destroyed!!! . In these conditions isn’t easy to share images!! Now, after one month, We can see the images from first helpers that chinese mass-media put in news, tele, internet, very Touching pictures… ( that video makes by an Chinese’s YouTube user)
Thanx to: Pechino 2008
