From an article on Yahoo News:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A tsunami alert system in Hawaii that warns Pacific countries about devastating tidal waves detected the earthquake that led to the destruction across Indian Ocean nations.

But the absence of an alert system in Asia meant the information could not be sent out fast enough.

So, of course, the losses are our fault.

Sometimes your responses are so profound that limiting them to 2cents worth seems kinda selfish.
