    My heart goes out to those six people killed, but I'm really glad to see places have strict building codes like this. That death toll could have been a lot worse.

    Gosh, this is pretty great for them but sad that 4 people died out of indirect causes of the earthquake and other disasters.

    Yes, while it is sad to see lives lost (and my heart goes out to their families), I at least am relieved that it didn't end up as bad as it could've been had the buildings not been built to withstand earthquakes.
