I had a similar sensation when the World Trade Towers collapsed during 9\/11.  I visiited the restaurant on top of them not too long prior to the disaster either.<\/p>\n<p>The TV news showed workers spraying antiseptic over the debris.  There are less and less &#8220;miracle rescue&#8221; stories and more and more on tent cities, heroic logistical efforts, and the national mourning.  The whole country stood in silience for 3 minutes a few days ago.  Cars stopped and honked at the same time.  Many moist eyes, tears, or even crying during those minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly do not know if any government can do better than China handling a disaster of this scale.  The actions were swift, organized, transparent, and open-minded.  That 3-minute silence touched every citizens and solidified the entire country.  Chinese showed their bests.  Money poured in; factories mobilized to produce whatever; distribution systems efficiently move goods to the right places, even drop got a receipt from the recipient; civilians blogged, photo&#8217;ed, or emailed heart-wrenching stories. <\/p>\n<p>Won&#8217;t forget this for a long, long
