Go give blood

So I just gave blood to help out with the earthquake that happened in on February 22, 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand through NZBlood. This earthquake was a huge ass quake registering in at 6.3 on the Richter scale and left 166 confirmed dead.

This is very real here in New Zealand, I have a few students that just joined in some of my classes that were forced to transfer schools out of Christchurch. This kind of force is equivalent to approximately letting 43 kilotons of TNT go off. The wiki on the earthquake. Here is a YouTube video with some really shocking on the ground view point of the quake as it is happening:


I gave enough blood to help three people.
