2006 Earthquake at Jogja

On the way from the airport, I asked the driver how many people were killed during the 2006 earthquake in Jogjakarta. He guessed that it must be 100,000 people, but he was not sure.

I checked Wikipedia. The number is much smaller. The 6.3-magnitude earthquake killed 5,782 people and left some 36,299 persons injured. More than 135,000 houses are damaged, and 600,000 people are homeless.

It is still serious, but the scale is smaller than the Sichuan earthquake in 2008.
