Many Governments knew but did nothing to evacuate coastal areas ? global conspiracy, UFO threats or concerted failure?

Now it is slowly coming out that almost all the Governments affected by the Tsunami knew about the earthquake and possible Tsunami hours before their countries were hit. by the killer tidal waves. The only local Government that did not have a chance to react or evacuate was in Sumatra and Andaman Nicobar islands.

Based on the analysis of the time sequence in which these Governments received information and failed or decided not to act is alarming. In Sri Lanka, India, Maldives and Thailand rumors in the main street are rampant that their respective Governments were told not to act by someone or some entity.

Indian Military for example clearly got the information two hours before the Tsunami hit the India?s mainland. An Indian Air Force base was wiped out in Andaman Nicobar island near Sumatra close to the epicenter if the earthquake two hours before the Tsunami hit the mainland India. When Indian Military tried to inform the Government, the Government did nothing as if they did not hear.

Same story is being repeated in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Maldives. How can all the countries decide to let Tsunami come and not evacuate a single human being?

Some are concluding that the Governments knew of some experiments by some country, agency or entities. They were clearly told not to react because it was in a controlled environment. Or, they may have just asked to keep quiet.

Recent alien contacts have been reported with the South Asian Governments especially India. UFO sightings have been rampant over the region affected. Some in Nicobar Island say that it was an experiment conducted by the alien extra-terrestrial entities to correct the wobbly rotation of the earth. And some of the Indian scientists are actually seeing that wobbly rotation of the earth has been corrected since the massive underwater earthquake and Tsunami.

In Indian capital of New Delhi, faxes were being sent to wrong fax numbers so that nothing much is done even though the Government clearly knew about the coming Tsunami. People have started asking the question ? was this utter failure or global conspiracy to accommodate some entity or interest or was this for the good of the earth?

If this was an utter failure, how do you justify that all six Governments failed separately in their own domain one by one.

According to some extraterrestrial UFO observers, the UFO sightings before the earthquake and Tsunami were very unusual in that part of the world. They claim the world?s Governments were told not to act for some reason.

The most amazing thing is that United States Geological Survey and Ocean Monitoring agencies came to know about the Tsunhe Tsunami and earthquake but decided not to do anything. Well it seems the whole world decided to fail to do anything together at the same time. Are we missing something?

Can it be that all the Government Agencies knew what was happening but were told not to do anything? Who told them? Or is this just a tragic coincidence?

In Thailand some in the Government said, they decided not to act because that will just scare people. Really? Are we not supposed to get scared of scary things?

oh my, aliens? I've heard it all now

This thread is useless without...Strike that it's just useless...

aliens? i knew it was something cosmic

I don't put anything past the governments of the world these days. They are capable of anything.

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.

You think we are the only ones on this planet? LOL. They've been here longer then we have.

et phone home

I totally agree.

Its true the Governments lie, but the UFO thing is BS. Having born in India, and living there for 12 years, I can honestly say that the journalists come up with self-made stories while taking a dump.

I can't stop laughing.

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.

strange. aliens and animals.

Aliens are cool :conehead

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You can say that again KRL.

Normally I would have tossed this UFO story in the recycle bin BUT I can confirm without a doubt that weeks before the Tsunami and quake there were indeed a huge amount of UFO stories coming out of the region. It really surprised us UFO enthusiasts as we'd rarely heard of UFO stories coming in such a wave from India, Pakistan and S Asia.

Even the Indian government got involved which is another shocker.

The news wires were full of UFO stories from that area and so then came this story. So there's no way in hell they made this stuff up at the last moment because the stories from various sources were right there on the wires way before this disaster hit.

So what kinds of sightings were happening recently? Wow. That's crazy stuff if its connected to the Tsunami.

I don't know about aliens, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was some kind of test to see how the region will react to massive flooding from water level rising as the polar caps are melting..

Possible - Yes
True - Probably not

Crap they're doing tests on us :disgust

They are coming !!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Some collosal failure happened. But I don't think it was intended. Somehow , someway, all the leaders of the nations affected were totally impotent in the face of the tsunami. They didn't know what to do, so they did nothing..

sad..

the us knew it was going to happen, but they say there was no warning system on place ..except for tv/radio/word of mouth/military/planes/loudspeakers/etc.

i dont buy that there was NOTHING that could be done to save anyone

they were just impotent and incompetent

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i think military choppers and planes with louspeakers and planes going up and down the coasts of those countries could have saved many

"tidal Wave Tsunami Coming Leave Now On Foot As Fast And As Far As You Can Inland"

the more i think about it, the madder i become that no one did ANYTHING

Looks like those Ancient Chinese Warrior helmets.

Ooops, KRL I was wrong. I said there were UFO stories for weeks before the quake and tsunami. Actually there were UFO stories for MONTHS before the quake and tsunami. It's a pattern that's well recorded for decades that just before a major quake or disaster UFO sightings increase as do strange animal behaviors. Here's a link to India Daily's archive of UFO sightings in that region.

I agree, I doubt UFOs had anything to do with this.

Bootyologist, you're right on the mark there.

How in the world did every country involved not have a warning system in place? Everybody was caught with their pants down and it was a week or so after an 8.5 had hit south east of that region.

Even the dumb animals knew better to run for the hills. I heard a story on the radio today that blew my socks off. In Thailand they have elephant rides. Kids play with the elephants. Well as the news story said two elephants suddenly grabbed and prodded the children at the ride park UP the hills just before the waves hit! In Sri Lanka all the animals hauled ass way before the tsunami hit. They couldn't find any drowned animals!

Now those are just a few stories about how animals sensed the danger but our dumb asses with all kinds of advanced technology to spy on each other like satellites and submarines etc. didn't have enough sense to get out of the way?

We spent trillions on shit to spy on people and to make sure the dope and whores are delivered on time but nobody had the fucking sense to call somebody on a cell phone or email??? WTF?

Shit like this could happen anytime. Anywhere.

Fuck the news, keep an eye on your pets.

KHAO LAK, Thailand (Reuters) - Agitated elephants felt the tsunami coming, and their sensitivity saved about a dozen foreign tourists from the fate of thousands killed by the giant waves.

"I was surprised because the elephants had never cried before," mahout Dang Salangam said on Sunday on Khao Lak beach at the eight-elephant business offering rides to tourists.

The elephants started trumpeting -- in a way Dang, 36, and his wife Kulada, 24, said could only be described as crying -- at first light, about the time an earthquake measured at a magnitude of 9.0 cracked open the sea bed off Indonesia's Sumatra island.

The elephants soon calmed down. But they started wailing again about an hour later and this time they could not be comforted despite their mahouts' attempts at reassurance.

"The elephants didn't believe the mahouts. They just kept running for the hill," said Wit Aniwat, 24, who takes the money from tourists and helps them on to the back of elephants from a sturdy wooden platform.

Those with tourists aboard headed for the jungle-clad hill behind the resort beach where at least 3,800 people, more than half of them foreigners, would soon be killed. The elephants that were not working broke their hefty chains.

"Then we saw the big wave coming and we started running," Wit said.

Around a dozen tourists were also running toward the hill from the Khao Lak Merlin Resort, one of a line of hotels strung along the 10 km (6-mile) beach especially popular with Scandinavians and Germans.

"The mahouts managed to turn the elephants to lift the tourists onto their backs," Kulada said.

She used her hands to describe how the huge beasts used their trunks to pluck the foreigners from the ground and deposit them on their backs.

The elephants charged up the hill through the jungle, then stopped.

The tsunami drove up to 1 km (1,000 yards) inshore from the gently sloping beach which had been so safe for children it made Khao Lak an ideal place for a family holiday. But it stopped short of where the elephants stood.

On Sunday, the elephants were back at work giving rides to the tourists on whom the area depends.

German Ewald Heeg, who said he came from a small town near Frankfurt, said his charter company had offered his family -- wife, two daughters and one of their boyfriends -- the chance to go straight home, but he had turned it down.

"Our family is OK so we stay here to make our holiday," he said.

"Today, we make a safari. We go by elephants at first, then we make a boat trip.

now that is awesome..

elephants are great. i was watching a documentary about them on the discovery channel... they're very emotional animals.

The entire thing comes down to money. If they were yanking all the tourists off the beach everytime they thought that a wave may hit, then they would not have a tourist industry.

Yep :thumbsup

Probably PARTIALLY true.
But a dead tourist is not a good tourist.

Animals can sense some odd things. They have dogs now that can sense somebody is about to have a seizure, up to an hour in advance. It can't be taught to dogs, either they can do it or they can't. If my dog's don't trust someone, I don't either. :thumbsup

Y'know Galleryseek, that's odd because a friend of mine who works at Disney animation said the same thing! He said that special really wowed him and his family. Made them think twice!

Yooo!!! Pornguy you hit the nail right on the head!

I was reminded of those old disaster movies like 'Jaws' and 'Towering Inferno' and 'Poseidon Adventure' where people weren't warned because it might goof up the tourist season or they wanted to cut corners on construction or something.

Now that is some fucked up shit. The hearings and investigations are gonna reveal alot of screw ups.

I've heard but not confirmed that Saudi Arabia hasn't donated anything near as what the other countries who are not muslim did. Even though Indonesia still doesn't know how many are dead.

What's even more fucked up? News says the rice paddies are now flooded with 'salt' water. This year's and maybe next 2 years are fucked. That means maybe who knows how many might starve. One fucked situation builds on up to another. And don't even talk about the possible diseases. It hasn't gotten bad yet and hopefully it won't.

Recent alien contacts have been reported with the South Asian Governments especially India. UFO sightings have been rampant over the region affected. Some in Nicobar Island say that it was an experiment conducted by the alien extra-terrestrial entities to correct the wobbly rotation of the earth. And some of the Indian scientists are actually seeing that wobbly rotation of the earth has been corrected since the massive underwater earthquake and Tsunami.

DUDE!!!!

No sooner had I read your post and then found this story. You are dead on balls accurate!


Tsunami Warning Failed to Get Through-Thai Expert



PHUKET, Thailand (Reuters) - A Thai expert said on Monday he tried to warn the government a deadly tsunami might be sweeping toward tourist-packed beaches, but couldn't find anyone to take his calls.

Samith Dhammasaroj said he was sure a tsunami was coming as soon as he heard about the massive Dec. 26 earthquake off Indonesia's Sumatra island that measured magnitude 9.0 -- the world's biggest in 40 years.

"I tried to call the director-general of the meteorological office, but his phone was always busy," Samith said as he described his desperate attempts to generate an alert which might have saved thousands of lives.

"I tried to phone the office, but it was a Sunday and no-one was there," said the former chief of the meteorological department now charged with setting up an early warning disaster system for Thailand.


"I knew that one day we would have this type of tsunami. I warned that there would be a big disaster," he told reporters.


"Everyone laughed at me and said I was a bad guy who wanted to ruin the tourist industry," he added.


The tsunami took just 75 minutes to hit the beaches and islands of Thailand's Andaman Sea coast, 375 miles from the earthquake's epicenter.


Now more than 5,100 people are dead, nearly half of them foreign tourists who abandoned Europe's cold, dark winter for golden sands and turquoise seas, and left 3,800 missing, nearly 1,700 of them foreigners.


Downstairs from where he spoke, dozens of foreigners were still scanning message boards, trying to match grisly photos of bloated, battered bodies to the smiling pictures of missing friends and relatives.


"I feel very sorry for the people who died," Samith said. "I will make sure this thing does not happen again."


The early warning system for Thailand -- which has not had a natural disaster in living memory worse than floods during the annual monsoon -- would be ready in six months, Samith promised.


"We will make the system very efficient," he said.


ROARING SEA


Preliminary investigations by a team of six Japanese experts showed that the wall of water hit beaches along the Thai coast at different speeds and heights, with the phenomenon exacerbated by a high tide that fed the tsunami as it neared land.


Khao Lak beach, lined with hotels and resorts especially popular among Scandinavians and Germans just north of Phuket, took the worst hit from waves up to 10.5 meters (34 ft) high.


They roared up Khao Lak's gently sloping beach at speeds of up to 8 meters a second (29 kilometers an hour), said Professor Hideo Matsutomi, who led the Japanese team.


"There have been six major tsunami in this region since 1797, but I think this last tsunami was the biggest," he said.


Tsunami are much more frequent in the Pacific Ocean and countries there have long established an early warning system to protect them from disaster.


Samith said countries in the Indian Ocean had to follow suit and set up a network of underwater sea monitors which might cost as little as $20 million to build.


Warnings of imminent inundations would be sent out automatically on television and radio and by text messages to mobile phones.


The system would help woo back tourists scared away by the mass loss of life, Samith said.


"No-one can predict an earthquake, but you can predict a tsunami," he said. "We will build a good system."


"We will help tourists come back to Thailand."
