I guess I didn't realise Halibuton had an interest in the tourism industry there.

The hotels were 100% booked full. What if we issued a warning, which would have led to an evacuation
and if nothing had happened.. atleast they know you are on the ball. Now you guys just look like money hungry idiots that killed a whole lotta people.

I'd heard this the other day. Sad to think about the lives they could have saved.
To: Melpomene
If this is true it will most certainly be denied and covered up in the near future.

My guess is that there was not enough time to do anything anyway. Less than an hour is not much time to communicate info like that to such a wide area. The fact that none of the 24 nations that were warned did anything with the info seems to prove the point, I think.
To: beyond the sea
JAWS!!!! My first thought, exactly.

Nothing good happens when government is concerned about money.

I didn't want to believe a government could be so stupid...
