setting-up at

the

| ? |

| ?
| ? | It is possible to walk onto these peaks (there is a path), so the
people

| ? Many of the tourist were older people who barely can walk a few meters

|
|
| I've been to Phi Phi a couple of times. At 41, I was one of the older
| tourists.

I was barely a month ago in koh Phi-Phi with my wife and my kid.

If somebody would have shout: "Run for your live, a tsunami is on the way.
You have less than 1 hour to get safe."
I would pay my bill at the restaurant where we were having breakfast,
started walking trough the small street filled with people with my kid on my
arm towards the mountains, I would'nt be here today.

Thanks and you as well.

| |
| | Thing is though, it's a positive for the region that they never felt
| that
| | such facilities were needed in the first place.
|
| They have considered to put such facilties up, and have joined the
warning
| system in the Atlantic Ocean.
| But as the chance of being hit by a disaster like this was almost
none,
no
| warning system was setup for the coastline that has been hit now..
| Even when such a disaster would happpen, a warnng system would have
been
| of
| no help as the time between the eartquake and the tidal waves was too
| short
| for any organised help ( 1 hour before the waves hit Thailand)
|
| | My line of thinking runs that you only need such facilities - such
as
in
| | inner city areas where crime is a problem. Bit of an over
generalization
| I
| | know but it's the point.
|
| Governments can only spend as much money as they have in their budget.
| The departments have to consider what the priorites are and on what
they
| will spend the budget.
| Spending the biggest part of the budget in setting up a warning system
and
| an evacuation plan in the event of a Tsunami which happens once every
100
| years, and let the people die of hunger seems not to be a good
decision
| IMHO.
| But your way of thinking is not wring at all.
|
| | Now I'm only speaking about Thailand here. My experience as a
tourist
| has
| | been pretty positive.
|
| I stay now for 4 years already in Thailand, and my experience is also
for
| 95% positive.
| Sure, I would like to have bigger walking streets, more respect for
the
| "weak user of the road", less polluting cars and motorcycles, and so
on.
| But there are othere more important things which made me decide to
stay
in
| Thailand.
|
| | This is really an act of God -
|
| It sure was an act of something that was higher than any human.
|
| | in my current line of work, you learn that
| | there's nothing you can do in these instances.
|
| For India and Sri Lanka there could maybe had done a little bit to
more
| save
| some lives.
| But this is only talking about things that already have been happened.
| No way to turn the clock back.
|
| | All you can do is damage
| | minimisation really.
|
| The damage is already been done by forces of nature.
| All that humans can do now, is relief the survivors from their grief
and
| put
| measures in action to prevent this from happening in the future.
| I am confident that everything possible will be done.

| | | | Joseph,
| | | |
| | | | I don't take any sides on the fact that a warning system
could
| | have
| | | saved
| | | | (many) lives or not, but I want simply to add some points
ino
| this
| | | | discussion.
| | | |
| | | | 1. Many people have died on the roads in Phuket after the
| first
| | tidal
| | | wave
| | | | when they tried to escape to higher places. Giving a
warning
| that
| | a
| | | | dangerous situation is going to happen without the proper
| | coordination
| | | can
| | | | cause more harm that good.
| | | |
| | | | 2. I was barely a month ago in Phuket, Phi-Phi Island's
and
| Krabi.
| | | | Nobody can protect himself for a tidal wave like the
one
| | occured
| | | | yesterday, with waves reaching 5 meter in height and a
| tremendeous
| | | force
| | | | as
| | | | I have watched today in the news.
| | | |
| | | | For instance, take the case of Phi-Phi Island. An island,
| barely
| a
| | few
| | | | miles
| | | | of superficy, and almost flat with almost no roads to the
| higher
| | | places.
| | | | Only if people had a shelter to hide into, they were able
to
| | protect
| | | | themselves from the disaster. But most people sleep in
their
| boat

| | protect
| | | them
| | | | from such disasters. In Thaivisa.com people describes how

| | | |

| | setting-up
| | | at
| | | | the
| | | | same time shelters and other protection systems, is like
| "putting
| | the
| | | | chickens in a fox hole to shelter".
| | | |
| | | | My deepest sincere feelings goes in the first place to all
the
| | people
| | | who
| | | | lost his live in this disaster and the people who lost
their
| only
| | | meaning
| | | | if
| | | | life.

You stated that many of the tourists on Phi-Phi were older and couldn't

if you'd walked up those hills?

I don't think that.
That's the decision the goverments have taken in the past, stupid asshole.

| | Now I'm only speaking about Thailand here. My experience as a tourist
has
| | been pretty positive.
|
| I stay now for 4 years already in Thailand, and my experience is also
for
| 95% positive.
|
| Pity fer ya family its been 100% negative!

Talking about your wife again who had to sell her body to the aboriginals to
feed your ******* son while you was busy at Nana?

| Sure, I would like to have bigger walking streets, more respect for the
| "weak user of the road", less polluting cars and motorcycles, and so on.
| But there are othere more important things which made me decide to stay
in
| Thailand.
|
| Dont tell me, let me guess! Cheap short time sex with little
| noodle girls! Thats it eh?

LYING ****BAG.
POST THE THREAD WHERE I WOULD HAVE SAID THAT.
YOU CAN'T
EASY, BECAUSE YOU ARE A LYING ****BAG

| | This is really an act of God -
|
| It sure was an act of something that was higher than any human.
|
| | in my current line of work, you learn that
| | there's nothing you can do in these instances.
|
| For India and Sri Lanka there could maybe had done a little bit to more
save
| some lives.
|
| Any lives saved by a early warnin system are a bonus

Yep, and if I could bring anybody back to live by exchangng his faith to
you, I would do it on the spot.

| But this is only talking about things that already have been happened.
| No way to turn the clock back.
|
| On that point an only that point we agree.

No kidding?
I am not agreeing with you on anything you say as you are a LYING ****BAG

| | All you can do is damage
| | minimisation really.
|
| The damage is already been done by forces of nature.
| All that humans can do now, is relief the survivors from their grief and
put
| measures in action to prevent this from happening in the future.
| I am confident that everything possible will be done.
|
| As long as they dont worry about tha expense eh carlos?

That's up to the goverment to decide, stupid asshole.

Not Cheers,

Carlos

| | Thing is though, it's a positive for the region that they never felt
that
| | such facilities were needed in the first place.
|
| They have considered to put such facilties up, and have joined the
warning
| system in the Atlantic Ocean.
| But as the chance of being hit by a disaster like this was almost none,
no
| warning system was setup for the coastline that has been hit now..
|
| So tha risk was nil. Now what is tha considered level of risk?

Ask that question to the authorities who has decided about the warning
system, stupid asshole. Why should I be bugger on that.

| Even when such a disaster would happpen, a warnng system would have been
of
| no help as the time between the eartquake and the tidal waves was too
short
| for any organised help ( 1 hour before the waves hit Thailand)
|
| In 1 hour I can walk 5 kilometres or more. If I run I can probly
| double that! How far inland did tha wave in phuket go carlos?

Never considered to participate in the olympics?
You would for sure get a gold medal on runnig the 5 kilometres or more.
How old dod you say that you was?
85?

Stupid asshole.
Go playing with your senseless old dick.
