I am very happy that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ [and your services] did a excellent on the story and its
aftermath....

is there any particular reason that there is no coverage of blackouts affecting large parts of the country over the last 24 hours? You've got one note about sizewell shutting down, but nothing about the other 5 stations that shut down - which the Times reports as "Hundreds of thousands of people were hit by electricity blackouts yesterday when six power stations shut down. The unscheduled stoppages were seen as an unprecedented sign of the fragility of Britain’s power infrastructure."

I am hugely disappointed - I rely on the bbc for news coverages and this is a deeply disturbing omission of something directly relevant to the country at large.

I was actually quite impressed - it could not have been easy to get in there and offer front line reports. I liked that the reports seemed to be factual - no campaigning, no filtering, no spin - just what was happening.

Just a thought: if you covered the Myanmar cyclone in the same way - facts not campaigns - would you have been more acceptable in the country and therefore able to offer a better news service?

My work here in the earthquake.

There are no real words that can really tell the emotions that a situation such as this can impart to everyone else out there.

Death, and not just death itself, but death in some of it's worst and most horrendous forms. Impossible to imagine even with experience in emergency departments. Lifeless bodies and so many of which are sweet lovely innocent children. Much of the time for some, appearing to be in a peaceful sleep. And then to realize, that they will never wake again. That the future time of their life is now over.

The sheer numbers alone is beyond what one could imagine. The time out and hoping, praying for another miracle save. But it seems will never come but hope still nonetheless.

Treating one person after another in what seems to be an endless procession of people that come for help. Fractures in every place a body can have. Lacerations and dislocations. And most all with infections from walking through the mountains for days. Some will lose their leg or arm in amputations due to the infections and some will suffer other debilitating deformities.

One man, treating his head and leg wounds who walked into the camp, and "oh, by the way, my shoulder hurts" in what was a completely dislocated shoulder walking around with it for 4 days. But yes, back in place now.

The man who lost his mother, his father, his wife and both his children.

Case after case of physical, emotional and psychological distress and pain. Too many to even begin to tell of.

Whatever I do here, is not enough nor will it ever be.

But I will try as will the rest of the world.

After watching so many people lost their family members, and children become orphans, I feel really depressed. I hope their will tide over the diseaster.

I appreciate the people who are busy working at the frontline. It is their harding-working and contribution that help the local people's lives return to the normal order so quickly.

I am following the problems associated by the artificially constructed lake and being a water engineer, I am questioning whether the use of several temporary syphons to remove the lake water to downstream have ben considered?At a reduced and gradual discharge, the pressure will drop. There must be plenty of large conduit piping that could be helicoptered in. A large vacuum pump would be required of course. Could your representative contact the Chinese Engineer in charge. Good luck to you all.

Not watched any of your coverage if i am to be honest, gave up on any real news coming from your organisation many moons ago.

But i am curious if any of your reporting has covered HAARP weaponry and the strange skies above the earthquake zones and that each tremor/quake/aftershock has its epicenter at 10k below the surface.

Just curious.

i would provide links to relevant information but you cant put links in comments it seems

Anyone interested in HAARP (see 8 above) can go to this address to find out: www.fromthewilderness.com/free/pandora/haarp.html
Not a link, but you can copy and paste. You might even ask yourselves why this technology has had so little coverage from the ´óÏó´«Ã½. And there's not even an award ceremony this week!

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ has done a good job covering the recent earthquake in China. It couldn't have been more emotional, sad and heartbreaking looking at human beings pulled out the rubbles like worms. I wish that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and other news corps would do the same by fully covering the unspeakable destruction of lives and properties in Africa, and bringing fugitive warlords and war criminals to justice.

Reporting the China Earthquake and its after thoughts was a very difficult and often hard thing to report on...
