i was just about to post this, very tragic indeed!
but i expect limited news coverage after a couple of days, after all it diden't happen in america.
aparantley it hit alot of holiday resorts, so we could possibley expect deaths from all over the world.

i can never believe how destructive nature can be. I can't even imagne how it must have looked/felt to those affected by the tsunami. How horrible it had to have been for those people

They say it created a 620mile hole in the earth. Geologists are saying that it has affected the earths spin, and will affect the weather accordingly.

if it was moving lets say 3600 miles in a min. then it was moving 216,000 mph closest thing to the speed of light in a long time probably.

Many of the poor people could've been saved if they were informed of Tsunami possibility in advance

Where did you get those numbers? |
from an article you honestly believe that a force of 30 billion dynamite going off at one time would only make a wave go 500 mph?

620mile hole? holy fuck. did they say if it is located along the plates that shifted? or if we would notice any changes right away?
this kind of thing always gets interesting. especially when the effects aren't as obvious as say a volcanic eruption.

just think about what you just wrote.....as if a wave could travel at 216,000mph.....that made me laugh so hard 
I heard on the news it was about 500kmh, which is alot more reasonable then the crazy figure you calculated. :shock:

i had to laugh at that too. with that figure, all of asia would have been submerged
216k mph would have reached Sri Lanka in 2.5 seconds vs. 2.5 HOURS
shit...i just noticed that Brunei is in the opposite direction of the tsunami :shock: the world easily could have added a shitload of ferraris to the list of casualties :shock: Not that a car is more important than a human life. but still. that would have been an even sadder day
