| Originally posted by TOR i saw this documentary yesterday on Belgian television. quite a frightening prospect, to say the least. what happens is there is water inside the mountain, and when the volcano erupts the water heats up and expands because of the magma, causing the rocks to break. this happened already during its last eruption about fifty years ago.. a crack appeared and the lower part went down 4 metres. if the whole flank was to collapse entirely, several billions of tons of rock would land into the sea, causing a tidal wave with a height of about 650 metres heading west towards the entire North-American coast.  |

| From: Sue Nommy() Date: 29-Dec-2004 17:22 I know that more than 90 times the people killed on 9/11 were killed with this. You must however look at all the facts. 9/11 was caused by man, this was natural. On 9/11 3,000 people were killed, but they were AMERICANS, these are 3rd world people, they are not as valuable as Americans, if you use the ratio that I use, of 1 American to 10000 of these "dirty" people, then you can plainly see that 9/11 was a MUCH greater tragedy, and this event barely deserves mention. |
That is the most disgusting thing i have ever heard...people like that should be covered in shit and set alight...then we'll see whose "dirty"!

| Originally posted by Jackson Me or the person i was quoting. I know what i said was extreme and after re-reading it i know i shouldnt have said it, even if i just was a figure of speech. But i have no time for people who think they are better than others just because of the colour of the skin they are born with. I really have no problem whatsoever in making racist peoples lives misrable so they can see what they are doing to others. |

The United States is pledging $350 million to help tsunami victims, a tenfold increase over its first wave of aid, President Bush announced Friday. The U.S. aid contribution could rise even beyond that, if needed, Secretary of State Colin Powell said later in the day.
yes, you are still a dumbass. more people are just using this tragedy as another reason to fuel their hatred for America stemming from their political stances, and using other peoples suffering to bolster their own sense of patriotism. donate your shit and be humble about it if you have any sense of decency in you

Another earthquake! 
This time it shook Indonesia.
From Netscape News:
6.5 Magnitude Aftershock Hits Indonesia
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - A 6.5-magnitude aftershock to last weekend's killer earthquake hit off the coast of Sumatra on Saturday, sending frightened residents running into the streets. No injuries were reported.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.5 aftershock hit early Saturday morning and was centered 215 miles west of Banda Aceh, the hard-hit provincial capital in northern Sumatra.
Aftershocks in the 4- and 5- magnitude range were also recorded, officials said.
The 6.5 jolt was an aftershock to last weekend's 9.0-magnitude temblor that spawned the devastating tsunamis that hit 11 countries and killed more than 123,000 people.
``Unfortunately, large aftershocks are common after an earthquake of this size,'' said Kathleen Gohn, a spokeswoman for the Golden, Colo.-based USGS.
She said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued an information bulletin saying that aftershocks of that magnitude generally do not produce tsunamis.
Northwestern Sumatra was the hardest hit area in Sunday's earthquake and tsunami disaster, with about 80,000 people there killed.
