With thousands of relatives worldwide frantic for information about loved ones out of touch, why would any government or relief agency go to the trouble of creating a list of potential victims and then password it?

Thanks! I will keep on trying until I get through. My dad was spending Christmas in India and we have not heard from him. The travel agency claims that he "should" be to the north and away from the coast, but the fact is we won't really know until he calls.

I think an important thing to remember is that this list is in flux and the status of the names already on it could change or some names could be removed altogether. There is little doubt we will never be able to know what happened to many of the folks who were along the beaches as these waves struck.
