As if the deaths of Reggie White and the murder of Vandy RB Doster weren't tragic enough, the largest natural disaster I can think of happened on the other side of the globe.

(CNN) -- Massive tsunamis triggered by the largest earthquake to shake the planet in more than 40 years wiped out coastal areas across Asia as far as 1,000 miles away, killing almost 10,000 people.

As the death toll climbing rapidly, Most of the fatalities were in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India.

The initial quake, measuring 8.9 in magnitude, struck about 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island around 7 a.m. Sunday (0000 GMT), according to the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.

It is the fifth largest earthquake in recorded history, according to the NEIC.

Man, it has been a strange 24 hours to say the very least. That is horrible about Vandy's RB too. Reggie's death shocked me. You wouldn't think that a 43 year old in that good of shape would have heart attack. It must have been a genetic thing. Reggie was a good guy all around. He will be missed.
