Nice One: I have not had an earthquake like this since NanTou in Taiwan.

As clueless as the op I see. It’s definitely not appropriate to use “impressive” to describe an event that causes widespread loss of life and suffering. In that context, a more accurate descriptor might be something like “devastating”, “catastrophic”, or even “unfathomable”.

It’s important to be sensitive and respectful when discussing events that cause human suffering, and the loss of life from an earthquake is certainly not something to be impressed by.

I completely agree. I can’t help but wonder if, his little hovel in Chiang Mai, had collapsed on top of him and he’d been trapped under the rubble for the past 48+ hours, barely clinging to life from dehydration, would he still be lying there, deliriously whispering “nice one” to himself as we speak? Sickening. 🙄

That was number three for me. First in Western Kentucky 1970. Second here in Chiang Mai 2015 and third current. Death toll reported is rising.
