9 dead, 1k injured.

That's bad, but not as bad as I expected with a 7.4

Doesn't look that tall in the photo, but at 1,667 feet it would be the second tallest skyscraper in the US. All the other buildings look short until I look at them individually.

as that's one of the handful of El-P solo tracks that I actually like, but I held off since the gravity of the earthquake is a pretty serious one.

His flow was pretty sick on that song.

Apologies if it seemed like I was making light of something very serious. I just never knew that wasn't just some random collection of words that El-P threw together until I clicked that link. Now I just need to know what a Tasmanian Pain Coaster is.
