As far fetched as that story sounds, its actually quite possible that something like that went down. It strikes me as totally illogical how no one acted at all on a 9 level quake uniformly the way it did go down.
At the time it wasn't rated as an 9.0 it was in the mid 8's.. There had apparently been an earthquake in the same area that registered in the 8's and did no damage. So maybe they figured this one would be the same.

Is strange about the air force thing. That's the first I've heard of an air force base getting destroyed 2 hours before it hit Sri Lanka.
