Tsunami

The recent Tsunami Disaster has highlighted a few things lacking in the Indian Ocean basin namely;
1. Warning systems that should have been in place, this seems to be the case for the Atlantic as well.
2. There exists a clear and present threat from this phenomena in all coastal areas worldwide.
3. Collective memory of similar events in prehistory has however not deterred us humans from utilising the littoral landscape for our activities.
4. However when one looks at some of the footage some people seem to be mesmerised by the White Dragon bearing down on them, were these people somehow captivated by the wall of water, no one knows...
Whatever the case, we hope mankind has learned a lesson and will spend the time and money to put systems in place that would hopefully save more lives in furore. The fact remains that Tsunamis are a danger that can and will strike again...
