Deadly Incompetence
Jul 20, 2006
KPUA via On The Third Hand:
The center issued a tsunami warning to Indonesia via e-mail, fax and a dedicated telecommunication system after a powerful earthquake was detected deep in the Indian Ocean yesterday.
But Indonesian officials chose not to relay the warning to residents.
The tsunami crashed into Java island, killing at least 463 people. Nearly 280 others are missing.
Sigh.
