Lindy, your gullibility is showing again.
Let us think this through.
1. The media LOVE people getting killed. They would savor every death and report on it.
2. This is not a war zone. There is no censorship. Who controlled the media to prevent the alleged death toll from being reported?
3. People have relatives. Dead people lead to funerals. Where are all of the associated funerals?
4. While perhaps a very few persons died and were washed out to sea, the bulk of the dead were recovered very near the sites of their respective deaths. Where did the rest of the bodies go?
Lindy, you positively MUST get a grip on reality.
