At least 77 people are killed and hundreds injured after powerful 7.8 earthquake strikes off the central coast of Ecuador, with tremors felt 300 miles away in Colombia

Are you seriously suggesting this ? You should be banned from commenting

Are you in favour of them??!?? After what this story shows?

I'm not in favour of tampering with nature, which is clearly what you are suggesting. Feels like you have some sort of hidden agenda here

Sorry fault

Mountains are more likely to be the cause. alah is similar to others, conspicuous by absence.

I'm sure that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis etc. have been going on way before any religion started.

But it was UN peacekeepers who introduced Cholera to Haiti after it suffered a devasting quake...Prior to that the countrywas free from Cholera...Google it for details.

TooMuchLDL: Quite right it was. The world should have just let the Haitians get on with the rescue and rebuilding themselves. They're a lost cause.

Like learning how to spell for example ?.

No. HOW DOES THAT POSSIBLY STOP EARTHQUAKES. OMG.

Prevent eartthquakes? What sort of halfwit are you?

A yank with no sense, no nation can as yet prevent quakes, and when the big one hits California, millions will die, those that live there, know this, as do those that in South America, and please check your spelling, perhaps get a spell check, it is an insult not to get Ecuador right.

I will remember IntelletualSuperior when the big one hits. Then we will see how they prevented earthquakes

The USA has not prevented earthquakes. Given your location, suggest you get earthquake insurance, a disaster recovery kit and learn what to do WHEN a quake hits, if you have not already done so.

Ignore him he's just a sad little troll with no girlfriend sitting in his bedroom in his underpants.

The only earthquakes the USA is attempting to stop are those caused by man in fracking alley. You can't prevent those caused by plate movements or natural faults.

everybody knows ''the big one'' in California should happen somehow soon, becouse happens in the same time gaps along centuries,... let's we see in the next decades when you suffer that earthquake if California had invested enough (as Japan, and you sawhat happen in Hendai 5 years ago) to prevent it... it's pathetic becouse almost sure when that earthquake happen there sure some people will die, and you are mocking about thatt idea (sometimes investing does not make you totally safe enough against natural catastrophes, remember Katrina hurricane)

They do! But when it is that huge there is not much you can do. Look at Japan, they have invested loads, still doesnt help. I know the press you get about Ecuador is negative because the states is against Ecuador, but educate yourslef a little and dont make yourself look stupid.

What a stupid, naive comment. What would you have them do? Ecuadors a poor country. Where would you have them build? Do you know where the next ones gonna be? Japan's a rich country, and has spent countless millions. Didn't help them, did it?

Go away fool.

Considering that even your God could not move mountains, that is over the top

What for exactly? What an idiot...

What nonsense.

It will never happy in Western Countries...

Can't you take anything seriously, Catherine?

Going for the low-hanging fruit this time, Catherine? Usually your trolling is a bit more subtle and entertaining

uneducated and no tact....

Red arrow collector..........FACT

Love it when idiots say FACT! :)

Not sure if your an imbecile or heartless person. Maybe your both. Lives are worth more than goods, even yours!

That's a mean comment from you in Singapore!

What are you talking about?! Hope one day you have to worry about your family and friends for hours whilst you are living thousands of miles away. Fool.

Spanish perhaps ?.

Idiot

Why would they speak Spanish in Japan? Think before you type.

I suppose you can't help being ignorant, when the report was about a terrible tragedy

Such irony that you consider yourself an intellectual superior!... Such hubris. This report is about Equador where they do speak Spanish but I suspect you do actually know that and are just a sad troll.

Awww are you bored today??? Go do a jigsaw instead of being a pathetic troll to pass your time

buy a dog.

Wtf!

Think you should go to bed to sleep off the night before!

Japan has suffered two in recent days and this in Equador makes three. Keep up!

@Intellectual Superior - The latest earthquake happened in "ECUADOR!" I suggest you return to school to learn your reading and writing again.

You are so ignorant, do you read any reports, earthquakes have happened in both countries in the last few days.
