Water, water, everywhere...

The recent floods in Mumbai, India & in New Orleans, USA brought out some startling facts. This is from a mail going around & since I dont know the person who has compiled this information, I cannot put a dedication here. Thanx Govind, for sending me the mail.

	New Orleans	Mumbai
Inches of rain	18	37.1
Population	484,674	12,622,500
Deaths within 48 hours	100	37
Number of people to be evacuated	Entire city (WOW)	10,000
Cases of looting & violence	Countless	None
Time taken for army to reach	48 hours	12 hours
Status 48 hours later	Still waiting for relief	Business as usual

I'm just wondering. Which country is the developed nation & which one is the emerging Third World country.

Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
