You Heard It Here First!

WND reports that "Tsunami suit filed against forecasters European victims of December wave suing U.S. agency, Thai officials, hotel"

Remember, you heard it here first!


The plaintiffs accuse NOAA of not informing Indian Ocean nations of the tsunami even though the warning center was aware of the undersea quake. Thai authorities are accused of not releasing information about the impending sea surge as soon as they received it – a failure that plaintiffs claim was responsible for thousands of the deaths that occurred. The hotel chain is named in the suit because the plaintiffs say it knowingly built the Khao Lak Beach resort in Phuket on an earthquake fault and failed to properly inform relatives of victims of the disaster, as well as failing to repatriate some bodies.
This should take a few decades to resolve.
