Drudge now has a figure of 400,000 up due to reports from Indonesia, based upon
aerial surveillance.

The magnitude of this catastrophe is beyond comprehension.

Last I heard (from my local TV news) was 115,000. I haven't had a chance
to check Radio Australia or the BBC yet. If Drudge is right (and this is
one of the times where he very well could be) it would be one of the
worst disasters in the recorded history of mankind. The atomic bombing
of Hiroshima killed 250,000. If the 400,000 toll is doubled by massive
epidemics, it would be in the range of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976,
which at 800,000 dead was the deadliest natural disaster in human
history.


Whatever your belief, think of those who have perished, and those who survive to
cope with the enormity of the situation.

I saw something a couple of days ago on a local news channel that said,
"according to satellite photos . . . ." I think they actually showed
shots of it as it was happening. This made me think that HAARP just
*may* have had something to do with it. They knew exactly where to have
the satellite pointed / focused!

Am I wrong (yes, I asked for it then! ;-) ) in this assumption or do
they have so many satellites with so many cameras that most of the earth
can be covered at any one time? I also realize it took hours (6 to 12)
for it to reach some areas and they had time to focus on those areas
based on the direction it was heading.

Thanks,
