Hmmmm, I heard a rumour that there was an early warning system in Australia that never informed the affected countries due to 'political reasons' i.e. they never paid for it.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Still, if the Thai government (and others) are going to squash such warnings when they get them then they probably don't deserve the privelage of such a system.
Well, 150,000 dead so far. I hope people learn to recognise the signs of impending disaster next time.
Bloody tragic.
Also please, knock it off with the "we're killing mother earth" garbage. This stuff has happened for hundreds/thousands of years. The documenting of it has just improved. The human race has nothing much to do with tectonic shifts. Believe me, we're not that important.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
