Ten days after the Jacksons returned from their father/son trip of a lifetime, Nepal was struck with a devastating earthquake, which registered 7.8 on the Richter scale. As of Wednesday afternoon, the official death toll was at 5,200, with some experts predicting the actual death toll could be more than 50,000.
