One Word One Moment

China proclaimed 3-day mourning for the Sichuan victims. A Nation prayed together from May19 to May 21. China's 1.3 billion people observed three minutes of silence starting at 2:28 p.m. — exactly one week after the quake. I designed this slideshow to keep moment of silence forever.

Mind the Gap at 14:28 Google China’s search log

Google China’s Search Log Displays Moment of Mourning Google China’s blog ( in Chinese ) mentions a Google search query log which dramatically shows the moment of silence and mourning on 2:28PM on May 19 for the victims of the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan. Apparently, even Google search queries fell off dramatically during that three-minute moment of silence where Chinese stopped everything they were doing to observe a moment of silence . The graph says it all. http://www.chinavortex.com/2008/05/google-chinas-search-log-displays-moment-of-mourning/ May 23, 2008 at 9:30 am by Paul Denlinger
