Crazy how stuff like this can happen and across the globe we don't hear about it. This is insanely sad, and I'm thankful I don't know anyone involved. Either way, my condolences to the families who lost loved one, and my best wishes to the Japanese community getting over this terrible disaster

And over 200 injured. But a place like Osaka getting hit by a magnitude 6 quake is very deadly and I'm kind of surprised more lives didn't get taken. They got lucky by debris falling on objects rather than people.
