I can't say i laugh at these people but at the same time it's like sucks that it happened but i don't necessarily feel sorry for them ....

katrina ... you built in a bowl surrounded by water essentially, what did you expect
china .... shitty building codes, inproper structure safety, houses made of mud, what did you expect

same for a lot of these other disasters where people are like poor me. yea it sucks but i have a hard time feeling sorry when you don't prepare or at least recognize you live in a place prone to such disasters and yet do nothing.
