<div>This one news article says:</div>
<div>The epicenter of Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake was in Sichuan, about 57 miles northwest of the provincial capital of Chengdu. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If the co-ordinates I found on the net are correct looking at the attached image, it almost looks like the same or very near the same location....? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Feel free to investigate and correct me on this one as I'm really hoping i'm not accurate here.</div>

<div>Hey guys!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've read everything I can find on the net today, and watched the little information that is being broadcasted on the news channels about the quake in China.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know Chengdu's aiport has cancelled it's flights, but thinks it will be operating soon. (Not sure what that means) The aiport website shows all of the flights being cancelled since 2pm when the quake hit.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can't make out how far west or northish the earthquake traveled, as only a few areas are named.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's seems like Qing Cheng Shan is close enough that it may have been affected, but it's too difficult to say with the information I have.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Aparently roads out of Chengdu are pretty seriously affected, but can't find clear information, as I imagine the information is still being collected.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've heard Jesse was/is on a train to Chengdu, but was most likely far enough away still that he would be safe.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Jesse when you get this, send us an update as to how things look.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My heart and prayer goes out to the people in Sichuan province. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>My flight leaves in 16 days, this is certainly a pretty serious turn of events.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Attached is google map wth the co-ordinates of qing cheng shan in comparison to chengdu. (Seems like 50km in a flight path).
