The aftershocks were detected in America but they had no clue as to where they come from. Sorry for.. defending *shivers* .. American stuff for once but they did what they could. Besides, by the time they had detected the aftershocks who and where were they meant to warn and how much time would they have had? The waves had been formed by that point and were on there way. The beach could of ben cleared.. maybe... but the cities? Homes? All those miles in land the waves went? Not a bloody chance.
As for thoughts.
Well, it sucks. A friend of my mothers Son is out there somewhere in Tailand. not sure which part, but no news has been heard from him since the 22nd so no clue as to where or whats going on with him.
No one to really blame in this either. Its a tragedy plain and simple which, at least, makes it somewhat easier for some.. or harder for others cause they can't blame someone or something other then luck (or God depending). Even so - its hard to think anything other then... Damn. That sucks.
Also:
It was a 9 on the scale - 5/6 miles underground from what I heard. People were freaking lucky it wasn't higher or it could of been worse. Thats some Quake as far as Quakes go. A real big one.
I mean though...
Bloody Hell - its not like the countries have enough to deal with as it is. Just wait until the after effects of this kick in - like desease and whatnot...
