It's hard to believe that a bit more warning couldn't have been given to countries further
from the quake, seismologists knew immediatly that it was 9 on the richter scale, and the
nearest countries were hit soon after, and apparently it took 2 hours for the waves to get to
India, Sri Lanka etc. yet they were left completely unaware of it..? Jesus, they do have radios
and phones etc there...couldn't someone have called someone? a lot of people could have
gotten well inland with an hours notice...what's the point of all this bloody monitoring then?
