Oh God

Ancient Olympia just burned to the ground.

*curls into a ball*

eta: After a whole DAY of conflicting reports, it seems that while the fire was in the grounds and burned a good portion of the woods, they managed to save the ancient site and museum. It's by no means the end of this, but it's a huge relief for me.

Oh goodness, that's awful!

On the BBC website there are pictures of the fires from a NASA satellite - you can see them from space. What a nightmare!

I hope the people they've arrested are the right ones.

fuck... my brother called me to tell me and - *shivers*

[strangelover.livejournal.com]

Fuck.

I have no words other than that right now.

Oh no. Fuck, this is just horrible. I wish... oh man, this is so awful, and the worst is that there's human greed at the bottom of this, gah.

*shudders and prays for rain*

Oh god, that scared the shit out of me at first.

This is just a horrible, horrible situation. Those poor people, I just can't imagine.

I have been following this on the news here. It´s scary! They´ve shown picturs and it made me speechless.

I am glad Greece asked for help, but I am ashamed they needed to do it in the first place. Just read Germany sends three helicopers (!). Three. Geez. Thirty would sound a bit more helpful.

Glad to hear you are okay, but it must really be scary.

I've been thinking about you and hoping you're safe ever since I got hold of yesterday's newspaper and seeing the overlarge title: ГЪРЦИЯ ГОРИ. The photos broke my heart.

Glad to hear ancient Olympia is at least as safe as possible in such a situation.

I'm glad you're okay physically. I know psychologically and emotionally it's a different story.
I'm watching Euronews right now and it's just horrible. Unfortunately it's seems to be turning political but hopefully they find the people responsible. The poor poor people who have lost their homes and loved ones. I hope neighboring countries can help out more because it seems the average small town doesn't have the resources to make progress against the fires.

I'm glad Olympia has been spared somewhat. I can't imagine losing something so precious but you get so torn because the lives of the people are more precious and 65 people or more have been lost.
I'm so sorry, I hope it rains. I hope you get more help.

Did you feel that earthquake? I understand it was pretty strong and could be felt in Athens. I hope everything is okay....

A much, much belated 'I hope things are getting better now'. Sometimes I really believe hell is on earth, and human beings can be irredeemably evil...
Hope things will get back on track sooner than later there. Please take care.
