Another sad day

This is another sad day. I eagerly waited for the afternoon news. Tears in my eyes when I heard the latest death toll.

Sri Lanka: 4,500 dead
India: 6,000 dead
Indonesia: 4,000 dead
Thailand: 400 dead

When the big waves retreated, dead bodies were found hanging on trees every where. What a horrible scene in human history. Those who survived said that at the time the monster waves came, they could not see the sky and they felt that God wanted to punish them.

What lessons have we learnt ? Would brilliant scientists please develop tsunamis pre-warning systems ?
