URGENTE – A tutti come molti dei vostri potrebbero conoscere un secondo terremoto terribile (29/05/2012) ha colpito la regione Emilia-Romagna (20/05/2012), che fin da oggi altri due terremoti ha colpito le regioni particolarmente vicino a Modena, purtroppo provocando nuovi morti, e più i danni per i quasi 10.000 o più persone già sfollate. Ho ricevuto il seguente messaggio dal Prof. Anna Maria Reggiani, il ex-direttore italiano archeologico della regione Abruzzo, ma che ha anche la famiglia nella regione Emilia-Romagna. Ha scritto questa mattina la seguente:
“Vedo in tv la distruzione di Cavezzo la citta’ dove sono nata. Vedo quella di Mirandola dove nacque mio padre. Sono addolorata…”

Tutti, tutto il popolo italiano della regione Emilia-Romagna, e del Prof. Anna Maria Reggiani, hanno davvero bisogno del vostro aiuto! Si prega di aiutare in qualche modo! Grazie and Thank you Martin!

Deadly Quake Hits Northern Italy, THE NEW YORK TIMES By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO (29/05/2012).

ROME – Less than 10 days after an earthquake devastated the Emilia Romagna region of northern Italy, a 5.8-magnitude tremor shook the area on Tuesday morning, killing at least 15 people, Italian news agencies reported. The new earthquake destroyed more buildings and once again tested the fortitude of an already unsettled population. In Mirandola, identified as the epicenter of the earthquake, rescue workers searched the ruins of a warehouse that collapsed looking for a missing worker, the news agency ANSA reported. Though many factories were still closed after the magnitude 6.0 earthquake that hit the region on May 20, many businesses were starting to reorganize so that they could reopen or start production again.“There was the desire to start again, repress the bad experience of a week ago,” Alberto Silvestri, the mayor of San Felice sul Panaro, where at least two people were killed when a factory collapsed on Tuesday, told reporters. “Then it’s our mentality, to go forward, to test ourselves, that’s our strength.”Early news reports set an initial death toll at 15, though there were fears that it could grow. At least 7,000 people from the area had been forced to abandon their homes after the first earthquake and were living in makeshift dormitories in schools and in tent camps. Thousands of others were still sleeping in their cars, because aftershocks had continued since the last earthquake. When the earthquake took place at 9:03 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Mario Monti was in Rome in a meeting with Vasco Errani, the president of the Emilia Romagna region, and other officials, to discuss reconstruction efforts. In a televised statement Mr. Monti said that the government pledged to immediately cope with the aftermath of the new earthquake. “The state will do everything it can as quickly as it can to guarantee the return to normal life in this very special area, so productive for Italy,” Mr. Monti said. “We want to return to a normal life and to a recovery of businesses.” Mr. Errani said that the priority would be to ensure the safety of citizens in the area, a task that had already begun, and he promised that the next phase would focus on reconstruction. “We acknowledge that there has been damage to companies and citizens, and we pledge to initiative a course to recovery,” he said. Some towns that had survived the May 20 earthquake relatively unscathed were struck by the new tremor. One person died in the town of Concordia and there were dozens injured, Mayor Carlo Marchini told Sky News, and the situation in general in the historic center of the town was “very serious,” he said. The cathedral in Carpi collapsed, killing the parish priest, the news agency ANSA reported. The earthquake was felt throughout northern Italy and buildings were evacuated in Genoa and in Pisa. After earlier slowdowns, high-speed trains were returning to normal, a spokesman for the national railway system said, but some local lines were still interrupted.
