Jakarta Earthquake


2/9/09 13:02, an earthquake measured 7.4 magnitude hit somewhere near Java. Why did it happen? First of all Indonesia is at the Ring of Fire where a lot of earthquake happens, and because Indonesia is an island they had a tsunami warning. Speaking about warning, that day at lunch time we saw a snake laying outside on the grass area beside Q module, at that time we didn't think much about the snake, but after the earthquake we knew why the snake came out, it felt the earthquake coming and came out for safety.
When I was watching CNN on TV after the earthquake it said there was 30 something people died. I think the reason most people died in an earthquake is because of buildings falling down on them, and that's why when an earthquake happens people run to an open area.
