i understand as you quote these sources , because they are the only ones to carry out report of the world ,
without any otherwise intention, i wish to say that errors do happen ,
what about AP, reuters , or whatever about me,
but despite all this there is no point in debating the time,
FYKI valiantboy.....Srilanka lies almost in line with india, where as Andaman islands are FAAR away,
yes there was time difference in hitting of tsunamis for islands and MAINLANd india, but for me there is no difference , island is also INDIA, and there were those signs which speak themselves without any AP /reuters telling us, stopped clocks, people dead in their morning tracking suits ...and list will continue......
and despite all such BRAVE existance of AP and reuters, and all facilities , i wish to tell you all concerned that there was considerable time lag , in reaching of tsunamis on mainland india, that could have been prevented HAD any information was relayed from INDONESIA/ ANDAMAAN islands..and thailand NEWS PEOPLE and others ON TIME,
it was almost 1- 1.5 hour available for them to escape, BUT ONLY IF THAT HAPPEENED...
..
any way its time to SAVE LIFE and bring back those smiles, i beleive we will , as the tales of beautiful and miraculus escapes CAME trickling in ...among the rubble.
