I have been trying to find a way to demonstrate just how many people that is and this is what i came up with.
135,000 is the same as filling up every seat in Soldier Field, killing them all and throwing them on the field. Then fill up all the seats again, kill them and throw them on the field. Fill up one of the end zones, kill them and throw them on the field.
135,000 people is about 2.14 Soldier Fields. THat is MIND BOGGLING!
The sad thing is they fear the body count may skyrocket in the next month from areas they cant reach yet and from after effects from the flood.
