BANDA ACEH: A massive earthquake of at least 8.2-magnitude struck off Indonesia's Sumatra island on Monday night, spreading panic and raising fears of another tsunami like the one that devastated the Indian ocean rim just over three months ago and claimed a huge loss of life.

sad isn't it?

That's terrible :-/

Yeah i saw it this morning on the news. Luckily it's just an earthquake and not another tsunami.

fucks you up nonetheless...
and the fear factor comes again... i live in a quake-happy san francisco bay area, and whenever a disaster like this happens they get these idiots on tv trying to scare the general population. "blahblahblah, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when... be afraid, be very afraid".

quakes suck.

Very, very sad. I was afraid this morning there was coming another tsunami.

apparently they are not sure yet whether they got couple of small tsunamis (ie 3 inch waves).

this is terrible

i was near phucket when tsunami happened,
lot of people moved from there to other islands
(like koh-phangan, where i was)
1 year later some people talk about nuclear tests at that place,
that time!
however i understood that the fear factor in greece had already started,
all ppl were afraid about tsunamis etc! now we r back to normal lifes,
we forgot the "tsunami fear" and i wonder that tv news etc wait for
happenings like that kind

blaah blah blahhhh... You people shouldn't start arguing or flaming or something like that. This is a discussion board not a "flame" board. You discuss things about the news and stuff. Don't start flaming, just say your opinion.

[edit] If this continues we will have to lock this thread, that's not fair against the people who seriously wants to discuss about this topic.

This topic has more than reached its climax and I know I've heard more than enough about it anyway. What happened in SE Asia was a tragedy however the event is over, they are beginning to rebuild, discussion is no longer necissary, especially the discussion we are currently seeing.

-close- -lock- (I forget which one triggers the auto-lock feature >_<)
