we really have a bad situation here in Thailand, specially in south of Thailand which every day war and killing each other, now got another nature attached by the earth quake from Sumatra, The Earthquake from Sumatra running from indonesia till center of Bangkok where I live. the building was quake and everyone running down from the building with shock. but nothing happened in Bangkok. just little quake afterall. my uncle boat in Phuket was destroyed and that's is his boat that he work with for traveller. 2 kids were survived from the Tsunami effected in phuket. one is Swedish kid age around 3-4 years old and asian kid age around 3-4 also, did not found their parrent yet. 1 family was on the cave morakot in Phuket 3 kids and parents was stuck. later after shock their father and mom passed away. the kids stuck on that cave from 9 am till 3 pm. my brother was in Phanga in our resort was playing the computer and he heard people screaming down at the lobby. he ran and open the door. found the water was running in, He immediatly jump to the roof top of the resort and stayed there and watched the happening. his brother Dot and his wife was in the beach with the dog LILI.

both were sitting at the beach and the first wave was coming so far. both of them hold the tree hardly. the first wave both still save, but Lili his dog was gone with the water from the start and goes fastly about 10 km in 3 minutes. his wife got the big stick in her leg and bleeding. He saw Lili was suck from the wave and immediatly run away from the beach. later on the wave high around 15meters is coming. Dot lost his wife after the first tsunami came. He tougth his wive gone too. so he is run to the building and goes to top of the building at 12th floors. After all the wave killed people and the building that Dot stayed, from level 1 till level 4 are destroyed. some of his resort guest house gone with the water. The most sad thing for Thai people is the grand son of our King Bhumipol Adulyadej is passed away "Phoom Jensen".

Thailand did cancelled for the big party new year now. the amount right now for dead people in Phuket is 866 dead. 60% travellers from Europe and Asia. today will continue to keep more dead body from the sea and streets. All people in the island are moved from the island savely now. Half of Phuket are empty now. non people there. only some reagion that haven't effected are still there. Natthongtep our Celine Fan also save from the Tsunami. but only Earthquake that effected his places. He is moving out from there already as he told me. for last. hope everyone pray for the passed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that is true. cause mostly big wave happens in the Pacific Ocean, not in the Indian Ocean. and it happened few times in Alaska before. and that's why countries around the Indian Ocean even can't alert it, cause it never happened there before.

December 29, 2004 at 06:06 PM

On the news they just said that 68.000 are dead and it could rise to 75.000 people.

This is so terrible.I got some friends and family who live in Indonesia and one of them has lost his entire house and one of his best friends like many people who live there :cry: :cry: :cry:

December 29, 2004 at 10:26 PM

wow i got chills after reading your post Dorn. I feel soo bad for everyone this has affected. if there is anyway I can help please let me know. And yes Cathy it is scary, expecially when you live right by the beach. The local news was telling people what to do if that were to ever happen here.

Russian aid planes leave for Sri Lanka, Thailand

MOSCOW, Dec 30 (AFP) - Two Russian cargo aircraft took off early Thursday for Sri Lanka and Thailand, carrying humanitarian aid for victims of the massive tidal waves that struck on the weekend, the emergencies ministry told the ITAR-TASS news agency.

A plane heading for Sri Lanka, one of the countries worst-hit by Sunday's tsunamis, was carrying 60 large tents, 7,000 bed linen packs, two water cleansing machines, drinking water and disinfectants, amounting to 20 tonnes, the report said.

The Thailand-bound plane was packed with 3,560 liters of drinking water as well as medical teams and rescue workers from the Volga and Urals regional emergency ministry. It would carry about 150 Russian tourists back to Russia on its return trip, it said.

Moscow has already dispatched two planes to Sri Lanka and plans to send aid to Indonesia.

Quake may have altered Earth's rotation

The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth's rotation--shortening days by a fraction of a second--and caused the planet to wobble on its axis, U.S. scientists said Tuesday.

Richard Gross, a geophysicist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, theorized that a shift of mass toward the Earth's center during the quake on Sunday caused the planet to spin 3 microseconds, or 3 millionths of a second, faster and to tilt about an inch on its axis.

When one huge tectonic plate beneath the Indian Ocean was forced below the edge of another "it had the effect of making the Earth more compact and spinning faster," Gross said.

Gross said changes predicted by his model probably are too minuscule to be detected by a global positioning satellite network that routinely measures changes in Earth's spin, but said the data may reveal a slight wobble.

The Earth's poles travel a circular path that normally varies by about 33 feet, so an added wobble of an inch is unlikely to cause long-term effects, he said.

"That continual motion is just used to changing," Gross said. "The rotation is not actually that precise. The Earth does slow down and change its rate of rotation."

When those tiny variations accumulate, planetary scientists must add a "leap second" to the end of a year, something that has not been done in many years, Gross said.

Scientists have long theorized that changes on the Earth's surface such as tide and groundwater shifts and weather could affect its spin but they have not had precise measurements to prove it, Caltech seismologist Hiroo Kanamori said.

"Even for a very large event, the effect is very small," Kanamori said. "It's very difficult to change the rotation rate substantially."

:shocking:

Seven-time world Formula One champion Michael Schumacher of Germany has donated 10 million dollars to the victims of last week's Asian tsunamis, his manager Willi Weber said during a German telethon.

"The dawning of the New Year has not been as joyful for us this year because of the catastrophe in Asia. We sympathise with the victims in their grief," Schumacher said.

The death toll from the massive December 26 earthquake and resulting tidal waves around the Indian Ocean neared 146,000 Tuesday.
