The Tsunami in the Indian Ocean killed over 156,000 people (that was the last number I heard). Consider for a moment how big a number 156,000 is.

156,000 - 57.7 times World Trade Center-related deaths
156,000 - 117 times the number of Americans dead in Iraq
156,000 - If you said one name every second, you wouldn't finish saying the names until after 43 hours had passed.
156,000 - If you filled a olympic-size pool with the blood from the dead, It would be 80% filled.
