Tsunamis kill up to 23,900 in Asia

That's just the latest estimate form the AP. Who knows how high the number will climb.

Just for some perspective, that's eight times more than that died on 9/11.



So why am I not surprised by this CNN headline: "U.S. begins tsunami relief; 6 Americans among dead"

...I guess it just isn't news worthy if Americans aren't among the dead.



edit:

This just in from CNN:
"'Oprah' regular survives tsunami devastation"
