Rumble down South East
"You may have heard in the news there was a 6.6 Earthquake that affected the area of Sumatra (420 kms South East from Singapore). Luckily enough we are all OK and no major damage has been reported as of now. Nevertheless, we felt the trembling in our building and some others were evacuated out of safety reasons. (That was not our case)" (Nacho)

And today in addition a plane crash has brought many casualties from Indonesia again :-(
A jet from Indonesia's state carrier Garuda crashed and burst into flames on landing at Yogyakarta airport on Wednesday morning with 140 passengers and crew on board, according to Garuda officials.
Casualties were not immediately clear, but survivors said many people had escaped the burning plane.
"The manifest shows 133 passengers and we have seven active crew on board," a Garuda spokeswoman told Reuters.
Australian media said the plane's passengers included Australian journalists and diplomatic staff. The journalists had been covering a visit to Indonesia by Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who was not on the plane but had been expected in Yogyakarta later in the day.
