Massive 8.9 quake of Aceh

[bigpaul]

i was watching the news about this, i know their a poor country but i notice nobody, in all their wailing and panicking, is carrying ANYTHING that could be useful in this situation, whilst i dont think for a minute they would have anything remotely like a BOB i would have thought in the time since the last tsunami at least a few people could have got together a small carrier bag of useful items, some food, a blanket, a tarpaulin and some rope etc.etc.-or am i thinking too westernised???
