It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog. However, this can also bring problems and even panic （恐慌）. For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami （海啸） hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like \"Salt can help people fight radiation （辐射）\" were hot on microblogs.

She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his \"legs\" didn't work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools. Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8,850-meter mountain.
