Tsunami hits again
July 18, 2006
A Tsunami has killed more than 300 in Indonesia. It smashed into fishing villages and resorts on Indonesia’s Java island, following a strong undersea earthquake. After all those worldwide collections and efforts still no warnings were reported. The warning System does not work. Asked how many tsunami buoys Indonesia has in operation since it launched the warning system plan last year, a government official assigned to the project said: “none”.
I am afraid the collected money simply disappeared when they gave it to the local governments last year. We will see what the future brings. Hopefully a working warning system. It were the poor fisherman again who became victims of this disaster.
