75 confirmed dead, over a hundred still believed trapped. Many of the building were damaged in a large earthquake back in September. When this one hit, they couldn't take the strain and went down.

The toll was also increased due to the fact this quake happened during the day in business hours. The September quake, while stronger, happened at night.

My thoughts are with those "across the ditch" and hope that the death toll will not rise any further.
