Death toll rises to 3,700 in Java quake

The death toll now stands at 3,700 in the Java earthquake. Yogyakarta in Central Java, experienced a 6.3 quake early on Saturday morning. The epicenter was close to the famous Borobudor site.

Population density and slack building practices have made the situation worse, with flimsy concrete structures splitting and disintegrating. Here in Bali we did not feel the quake or the after shocks.
