Umm, no, billybob. The official excuse was that they did not have enough people to make the necessary calls, after all, it was a the holiday season and many were on extended leaves, etc.
what's the point of having warning systems if you can't warn anyone. it's like building a house without a roof. either excuse is lameduck. and how did they screw up the magnitude so badly? and, even if it WAS an eight, this is still large enough to issue a warning. warnings are issued for anything over seven.
Bob, having a warning system is extremely helpful in this case. What it does is simply warn the citizens who are along the coastline to evacuate that area and head for shelter. Without a warning system, you'd have a catastrpohy as you had on that day. Take a look at the facts:
HAVING A WARNING SYSTEM:
1.) Warn citizens along the coastline to evacuate the area and head for shelter further inland.
2.) Reduce the number of citizens losing lives in a tragedy as of such.
3.) Prepared to aid those who are injured and homeless due to the tragedy.
NOT HAVING A WARNING SYSTEM:
1.) Lose a large number of citizens due to lack of pre-evacuation process.
2.) Unprepared to aid citizens who are injured and homeless.
There is much more to it, but those are the top most things that you will have to look at and realize that a place without warning can risk the lives a hundreds, yet thousands of citizens. So Bob, you tell me what is the best option you would chose? You say what's the use? It's very useful! And an example of a warning system is a buoy that will be placed outward in the ocean to determine what the ocean's current is and the magnitude of an earthquake if one occurs.
The magnitude was not misinterpreted. It was reported that it was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that occured around 7am on that Sunday morning. If it was a 6-10 magnitude or whatever, there will still be a warning system that will be used. And they will determine rather it's big enough to evacuate or not. Since they did not have a warning system, they had no way in knowing or preparing for the disaster. The only way of them knowing is after it hit the coastline and moved forward inland.
This is why warning systems are very important because anything can happen at anytime and you need to be aware of it so you can prepare for the catastrophy. You are more of a lame-duck if you aren't warned in advanced and unprepared for such a disaster than you would be when you are warned and prepared in advanced.

What the problem was had something to do with the warning systems. As a minute number of you may know, the southern part of Asia, does not have a warning system installed nor' available. Thus, without this mechanism or system, you cannot possibly warn a few 100,000 people in a matter of seconds. The only time you'll notice is when it hits. And that is what happened in this situation. That is why you see Japan assisting them in setting up a warning system so that when this happens again, they will be fully prepared to warn the citizens and get them out of that area.

there were people on earth who knew HOURS before the wave hit. some gave warnings as early as december 22nd, that something big earthquake was brewing. you assume that borderlines of nations are like invisible information barriers? we're living at light speed in a sattelite enviroment, man. one call to the operator for information or assistance, and anybody can talk to anybody anytime. people in hawaii who knew there would be a tsunami, could have phoned consulates, ambassadors, military, or anyone. they 'didn't have the phone numbers' is the official excuse.
just 'letting it happen' was the ordo of the day, at least.
there are ways to trigger earthquakes that don't require massive explosions. injecting hydraulics between plates, or small detonations on key fracture points, scalar or gravity weapons. i'm not saying that this happened, just that there are things we don't know about what other groups of people in the world, or what they are capable or willing to do.

Four days is well enough time to warn someone. If they had been warned, they would not have lost that many people. I don't care how many days it took them to be notified. If they had ample time to warn the people in those areas especially near the coast to evacuate, they would've been out of there and they would not have lost that many people.
Earthquake: Coincidence or a Corporate Oil Tragedy?
www.independent-media.tv...
On November 28th, one month ago, Reuters reported that during a 3 day span 169 whales and dolphins beached themselves in Tasmania, an island of the southern coast of mainland Australia and in New Zealand. ...Bob Brown, a senator in the Australian parliament, said "sound bombing" or seismic tests of ocean floors to test for oil and gas had been carried out near the sites of the Tasmanian beachings recently.
According to Jim Cummings of the Acoustic Ecology Institute, Seismic surveys utilizing airguns have been taking place in mineral-rich areas of the world’s oceans since 1968. Among the areas that have experienced the most intense survey activity are the North Sea, the Beaufort Sea (off Alaska’s North Slope), and the Gulf of Mexico; areas around Australia and South America are also current hot-spots of activity.
...According to the Australian Conservation Foundation, these 200dB – 230dB shots from the airguns are fired every 10 seconds or so, from 10 meters below the surface, 24 hours a day, for 2 week periods of time, weather permitting.
These types of tests are known to affect whales and dolphins, whose acute hearing and use of sonar is very sensitive.
On December 24th there was a magnitude 8.1 earthquake more than 500 miles southeast of Tasmania near New Zealand, with a subsequent aftershock 6.1 a little later in the morning that same day.
On December 26th, the magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck at the intersection of the Australian tectonic plate and the Indian tectonic plate. This is the devastating tsunami tragedy that we have all heard about in the Indian Ocean. The death toll of this horrific event has reached 120,000 souls and continues to rise.
On December 27th, 20 whales beached themselves 110 miles west of Hobart on the southern island state of Tasmania.
...the same place where the whale beachings have been taking place over the last 30 days is the same general area where the 8.1 Australian earthquake took place, and this is the same area where they are doing these seismic tests. Then 2 days after the Australian tectonic plate shifted, the 9.0 earthquake shook the coast of Indonesia.
A great deal of interest and seismic testing has been taking place in this area, as the government of Australia has given great tax breaks to encourage the oil exploration.
(Geologists deny seismic testing could have caused the earthquakes, but) ...strong evidence that suggests that oil exploration activities have induced earthquakes in the past.

As every “conspiracy theorist” knows, it is a compulsive, pathological trait for criminals to return to the scene of the (war) crime to revel in their deed and personally witness the commotion they have caused. Governor Jeb Bush, Jack Straw, Colin Powell, UN Secretary General Kofe Annan and the Director of the World Bank, James Wolfenson, have all visited the regions affected by a mega-tsunami to see the aftermath first-hand.
YES YOUR RIGHT THEY WENT BACK TO MAKE SURE THINGS THERE WERE IN PLACE.

Speaking of assumptions... Perhaps the criteria were economic, not humanitarian? ...Ie., Any politically powerful billionaires caught in the tsunami?

This was what we call an act of God, meaning we have no control of the matter and its just one of those things that happens. It has nothing to do with the new world order movement or the illuminati.

True,
and yes, i recall reading a theory about a project by the soviets that stated you could exploded a nuclear weapon underground to trigger an earthquake, but i doubt the Americans would do something stupid like that in a highly populated area.
