the international response is huge o_O

I'm glad. We said no to all offered help last time around so it's awesome to see nations still putting their hands up for us.

If it doesn't go on its on accord, I would think a controlled demolition would be in order.

Yeh, except that involves people going inside to set explosives. Also takes time to do calculations, etc. I have NFI what they'll do.
