To date, what are the death tolls for Katrina, the Tsunami and the Asian earthquake?

Thank you very much. I could not find final numbers. Where did you find those?

The numbers for the quake will go up as winter has settled in fiercely over there and all that the lucky one have are tents.

I just wanted to compare the numbers because on New Years Eve, CNN gave the top stories of 2005 as voted by viewers on the website. Katrina ranked higher than the Tsunami and the quake didn't even make the list.
It also goes along with a project (or two) that I am working on both dealing with "Out of sight...out of mind" and how we (as Americans) focus on things that directly effect us and just push aside things that are not directly related to us even if the event is not as bad as others.

I can't say that any other country is any better. It seems that whenever the US is in trouble there is rarely anything done but words spoken (consolation and/or blame).

Yeah I hate how it's so hard to find any news outside the US or any TV coverage of things outside the US, the media is way to US focused and it is really frustrating at times. Even with sporting events, most things not entirely US based are ignored.
