Is there any chance the Sumatra earthquake caused the ocean floor to shift upwards ? These claims the ocean floor is an uncharted wilderness doesn't jive. Subs have traveled these waters for more than 80 years. Satelites and computers have the data. There is more to this story than carelessness.

From the article: "even modern charts can be based on soundings taken 20 miles or more apart."

I don't believe satellites have the capacity to map ocean floors.

It's a mammoth ocean. There's no telling how many other subs have come a hair away from hitting the same sea mount.

Please get out your National Geographic atlas and take another look at the size of the Pacific Ocean. What satellite can see through miles of water? How would a computer get data?

B,
You're getting warmer...

Obviously this sub was the source of the nuclear detonation that caused the tsunami. Unfamiliar with the new weapon, the captain kept his ship too close to the blast, damaging it.

The rest is smoke and mirrors, especially about returning to Guam, which was wiped away by the wave. [/Arab press]
