of course the bush administration earlier found links to Al Qaeda
my belief is that the US was behind the whole thing.

America caused the tsunami? Probably not, but maybe China or another Asiatic country was doing nuke tests? Maybe Russia lost another nuclear submarine. Or if you would believe it- maybe it was naturally caused.

Whatever the cause was it's geography to know a tsunami will come after a quake like this...you don't need a so called "tsunami warning system" to tell you it is coming from an event like this, you need it just to tell you what direction it is going in.
When seismologists saw the shockwaves...seismologists all around the world knew there would be at least one ensuing tsunami...but not how it would travel.
This quake moved the whole island of Sumatra 100m! That is m-a-s-s-i-v-e
There was a huge quake deep underground that move the nearby landmasses significantly. This will caus e a tsunami. Physical geography.
I mean you fill up your sink and put a pile of rocks in it that at it's height emaerges as an island and pull a few aside so the whole mass moves somewhat...notice what happens to the surface of the hitherto still water.
This was known after the scale 9 quake hit, the local governments didn't want to cause panic/disruption of the tourist industry. No one knew exactly how big the wave would be or what direction it would head - but for sure there would be some pretty big freakin waves one way or another.
As it happens everyone got fucked.

How are the people on the beaches supposed to find this out... by putting a shell to their ear?

I suppose I'll have to answer the question with a question: Did the Mayans invent television?

Oh, don't be ridiculous. If it looks like a zombie, smells like a zombie, and is making crunchpatties out of your skull - brother, it's a zombie.

It's quite simple, the local police forces go out and speak calmly but firmly into megaphones.
The police HQ in seaside town gets a 30 second phonecall from the authorities (central government, who have themselves been warned of the possibility of tsunamis within minutes of the quake) warning of the possible tsunami. Policemen take less than one minute to grab jackets or whatever and megaphone.
Policeman steps outside door and begins speaking. Since after all, the beaches have a lot less people on them than the towns have in them. Policemen continue issuing warnings advising people to head inland and for high ground, but to remain calm and steady. Policemen apprehend local tuk tuk man as he passes or get in their own vehicles - continue issuing warnings as they drive around the town/to the beach if possible.
Then they themselves start heading inland, issuing warnings as they go.
Perhaps the central government also has a few office administrators phoning hotels etc warning them all the while. Not only this, TV + radio broadcasts could have been stopped immediately by the government upon warnings from the global seismologist community in order that they broadcast warnings.
I think a lot of people would have got the message that way - sure it was always gonna be a tragedy and many thousands would still have been washed off the beaches and through the streets to their deaths, but after the quake the tsunami took 2-3 hours to hit India and Sri Lanka, the wave took about an hour and a quarter to reach Thailand; six or seven hours before reaching the coast of Africa....
Quote:
besides its technical attractions, the network also relies on instant communications, using a database of private mobile telephone numbers of key points of contact in all the countries hit by the tsunami. So there would be no excuse that nobody knows who to warn, as we've heard in soul-searching over the Sumatran disaster.
Quote:
Would those monitoring stations in Thailand and Indonesia have detected this event?
PETER MARSHALL: Oh yes, indeed, without doubt. All 50 elements of the IMS seismic system would have picked up this event very promptly. In fact, Chiang Mai - I'm not quite sure what the distance is to Chiang Mai, but it's not very far, and the seismic waves propagate with such a high velocity that, within a few minutes, they will have detected it and it will appear very large - if somebody is in and monitoring it.
Quote:
We have been doing what we could do under the circumstance, and this is those who have connections to us and wanted to have the data got the data... But I don't think we would have been able - even if we would have warned them that there was this quake - I mean, took the telephone and give them an extra warning - I don't think we would have been able to avoid the catastrophe, because people on the shore have not been informed.
It was gonna go down bad no matter what....but some difference would certainly have been made if there was response by governments who had the data.
who knows...
