i dont think that would work
John, I am under the impression that there was no one to contact on the wave-recieving side.
superb pics muchspl2
I wonder just how long the American siesmologists knew about it.
Can't imagine the horror of it.
I fit affected the earths rotation what effects could this have?
I have a friend who is in the danger zone, I just spoke to his mum and he is OK but she says that everyone on the island Pulau Weh (where he owns land) has been wiped out :( I can't even comprehend the magnitude of this.
if you imagine the world like a spinning top you'll realise all that happens when you poke it is a little wibble. only a small area of ocean floor slipped 10 metres on a world 1000s of miles across. earthquakes just cant effect the worlds rotation or orbit
Presuming you're talking to me (no H ;) ) it was what Sky news reported that the sizemologists did not know who to contact, that is all I know, they did'nt say if there was anyone to contact or not, altho I would have thought some local goverment body would have been an idea :frusty:Quote:

Yet it seems every victim but the ones from here aren't to be represented other than by faceless statistics.
I can never get over that kind of thing.
Did they not also say that they didn`t have the tidal wave detectors in the indian ocean only in the pacific ocean.?????Quote:

Tsunami death toll passes 59,000 mark
News Headlines: World

By: ITN
The death toll from the tsunami triggered by an earthquake off the coast of Indonesia has passed the 59,000 mark.
And the World Health Organisation has warned that as many people could die from diseases in the aftermath of the disaster as were killed by the giant waves themselves.
The Indonesian Government said the death toll there had risen to 27,174 with more than 100,000 injured.
Sri Lankan officials have reported 18,706 deaths and 1,516 were killed in Thailand. India's official death toll stands at 11,499
All four countries expect the final lists to be much higher.
A Thai disaster official said 770 bodies, both foreigners and Thais, has been retrieved along the Khao Lak beach north of Phuket.
In Sri Lanka, 1,500 passengers are reported to have died, including more than 100 foreigners, in a train caught by the giant wave as it travelled from Colombo to the southern city of Matara.
Seventeen Britons have so far been confirmed as among the fatalities - ten in Thailand, four in Sri Lanka and three in the Maldives. The toll is expected to climb.
And as your article says, as many more could die as a result of disease and lack of fresh water in the aftermath :(
Yes, that is sadly true. I believe countries are sending aid already but there is only so much that can be done.Quote:

Kind of forgot about the board, then came back and saw a lot of the old people had left, atleast from the parts of the board i frequented... so I left again for a while, maybe I'll post some more now, who knows. Nice to see you too btw azad.
Wikiepdia has put up a huge article amazingly fast... I havn't read the whole thing, but it seems pretty good.

ya, a lot of people the old members left the board, glad to have you back.
80,000 dead from the quake and tsunami now :(
Red cross said it could reach 100.000
Found this
Did animals sense tsunami?
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...lanka_wildlife
im sure the toll will go way above 100,000 even before the diseases kick in.
That's interesting about the animals, I had just read it before i came here. Why would humans be the only animals that cant sense it? Im sure we are just too busy doing other things and our enviornments are too loud and busy to notice these things.
Well, the death toll from the tsunamis alone has reached 80,000. :o/Quote:
