Years of living dangerously: Tsunami, quake, tsunami...
A powerful earthquake sent a 6-foot-high tsunami crashing into a beach resort on Indonesia's Java island Monday, killing at least 80 people and causing extensive damage to hotels, restaurants and homes, Detik.com reported.
According to Detik.com more than 38 found dead at the famous Pangandaran Beach, Ciamis, West Java.
Kompas.com meanwhile reported 15 found dead in Cilacap area (Detik.com claimed 34) with hundreds missing and tens of thousands people flee the city.
Miles away from Cilacap, in Kebumen regency, one dead found and hundreds missing.
A friend reported from Cilacap, southern coast of Central Java, panick drivers have cost some accidents in several main roads in the area.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed at least 216,000 people, nearly half of them in Indonesia's Aceh province. On May 27, a magnitude-5.9 earthquake devastated a large swath of Java Island, killing more than 5,800 people.
On top of these, number of deaths of avian flu keeps increasing. Floods, including man-made hot mudflow like the one from Lapindo Brantas drilling activities in East Java, and then water scarcity in various areas. Oh...may be the following article I posted few months ago worth reading...
1) Cleaning up the President's bad aura...
2) Seismograph investment/donation please!...

I am sure you made a typo there, Yosef. Surely a 6-foot high tsunami cant kill that many people!!!
No typo, sir.
Below is the article few minutes ago from AP...
JAKARTA, Indonesia - A powerful earthquake sent a 6-foot-high tsunami crashing into beach resorts on Indonesia's Java island Monday, killing at least 86 people, leaving scores missing and sending thousands fleeing to higher ground, officials and witnesses said.
Regional bulletins that the 7.7-magnitude undersea earthquake was strong enough to send a killer wave steaming toward the country worst hit by the 2004 Asian tsunami did not reach the victims, because the nation's main island has no warning system.
Thanks for sparing us your great wisdom, Marklatham. and sorry for losing out on your bid to become prime minister. Oh, by the way, i voted for Howard, so, too bad
Years of Living Dangerously...lol, reminds me of novel and movie starred by Mel Gibson...so I guess, nothing's changed in this country...though the novel written more than 3 decades ago (if i'm not wrong...) and politically background.
