Only a few months from the last Quake which caused the Tsunami, and another quake has occured; the epicentre was not far away from last time.

I\'m surprised no one\'s commented on this before now, actually.

Stupid Tsunamis. Mean earthquakes causing Tsunamis! I feel bad for them down there :(. One of these days if we don\'t all blow ourselves up there will be global warming! We are all gunna get ourselves killed!

As an added tidbit, Indonesia is known to be rich in Titanium. Titanium ores are often washed up into deposits on shores, and mined. Titanium is relatively rare, and fairly expensive, as it is both lightweight and durable (used for aircraft, guns, medical prosthetics, and our Blue Bomber). The Tsunami washed several thousands of TONS of titanium ore onto the shores of Indonesia, several feet deep in some places. It\'s worth millions of dollars, and, they plan to sell it to aid in the reconstruction of damaged areas.

That\'s good. At least they have something valuable to export.

That\'s why you didn\'t hear it in the news.. it wasn\'t negative.. =p

I find it fairly ironic. That a precious metal should cost so much. I also find it ironic that such a natural disaster should do a little good among all the lives it took.

I\'ll also to Kagome that no Tsunami occured as a result of this underwater earthquake.
