- the first warning was made by a U.S. organization (science related ? ) , who put it on their website ONLY. The commentator in the radio said that "obviously this website wasn't shown early enough" (or something like that)
really lame...
- the second was U.S. , too, sent to countries which belong to the "pacific warning system", while leaving Sri Lanka and some others out, which don't belong to it
not really surprising... if Europe or US was interested by helping Sri Lanka it would be known (never forget there was one of the most terrible civil war until recently... in general indifference)
- one warning of Thailand was suppressed in order not to frighten tourists <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
well unfortunately for thai economy tourists would be frightened for some years now...
- another one was sent to the minister who was responsible in a country (forgot the countrie's name) for such things - at least they triedto. In fact, they actually sent it to the
former minister - the precessor of the current one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
would be funny in a movie... In RL much more than disturbing...
