This is indeed the most depressing news I've heard of since 9/11

But I think what Mohoney was doing was targeting Catholics, Christians and whoever else beleives the birth of christ was on the 25th. Because if that's your faith then apparently 'your god' hates asians for not celebrating in such a shitty holiday.

I hope all those people RIP :wtc:

Yeah, and apparently the wave is more of a shock wave in the water, which is not visable from the air, and the signs that one is coming can vary greatly from place to place, as well as with the tsunami's origin.

well lets see a huge tsunami and a whole crap load of people who didn't know what was going on....

gee can they be dying/dead from the crushing water and drowning or maybe crushed by the boats, cars, houses that the wave moved at very rapid pace?


-------
back on topic, they will continue to find more bodies but the death toll will probably higher, since it appears as a lot of people were swept out to sea.
