cheeseburger is on a distinguished road
Asia quake death toll tops 5,800 > SRI LANKA , INDIA, THAILAND with tsunamis

I know theres a few members that have visited or know people currently in phuket, phi phi, and krabi

so sad, and on christmas day
Thoughts and prayers














Massive tsunamis triggered by the largest earthquake to shake the planet in more than 40 years wiped out coastal areas across Asia as far as 1,000 miles away, killing more than 5,800 people.

Thai authorities say more than 200 are feared dead, and hundreds are missing after the massive waves swept through coastal areas, including Krabi and the popular resort islands of Phuket and Phi Phi.

One witness said Phuket's famed Laguna Beach resort area is "completely gone." The area provides 40 percent of Thailand's $10 billion annual tourist income.

Among the missing were a number of scuba divers exploring the Emerald Cave off Phuket's coast.

Phuket's airport -- which closed down when its runways flooded -- reopened, but most roads remained closed, as officials tried to assess the damage, fearing structural damage to buildings closer to the shore.

Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra arrived in Phuket and said the situation was "under control." He told CNN he planned to stay the night and direct rescue and relief efforts.

Eyewitnesses reported people drowning in their hotel rooms near the coast as 30-foot waves washed ashore. Others reported narrow escapes -- including one man whose alert but screaming boat driver turned their boat directly into a nearby shore. As he and his passengers scrambled up the steep beach, the waves crushed their boat.

We're lucky living here, if this ever happened to us. We have a wave breaker....Vancouver Island!

Holy fak, that's alot of people!

Not that it will be any consolation, but most natives to those countries don't celebrate christmas, and I guess that will make the healing process a little bit easier.

I wonder if there is any footage of those tsunamis, they must've been huge!

Hey, dipshit, the tsunamis were caused by a fucking earthquake.
Can you even read? Did you even glance at what was written there?



As for Doom's comments on these events: Yay! Destruction!

Untill someone bothers to post a visual graph of the area and tsunami...


An ocean earth quake happend just off the west coast of Indonisia.
INDIAN OCEAN
So a lill north of Australia
lill south west of Thialand, Maliasia, Singapore...
farther south east of Sri Lanka/India
very far east of Africa/Oman/Marishis

To make it to Tokyo it would have to JUMP over thialand, cambodia, veitnam, INTO the Pacific Ocean and go through hong kong, china, and parts of southern japan to hit tokyo...
