JAKARTA (AP): A powerful earthquake sent a two-meter-high tsunami crashing into a beach resort on Indonesia's Java island Monday, damaging hotels and sending boats smashing into houses, a witness told a local radio station.
People fled to a local hill to escape the wave on Pangandaran beach in west Java, a woman identified as Teti told el-Shinta radio station.
"All the houses are destroyed along the beach," she said. There was no immediate word on casualties. - AP

sad that indonesia has been plagued with disasters yogjakarta, tsunami, bali bombs, >insert the many disasters over the last 10 years<, etc.

someone said "indonesia is such a beautiful country but ruined by a system of bureaucracies of uneducated decisions made by seemingly uneducated people" at times help is never able to reach to victims.

>somehow that message seems closer to home< i digress :retarded:
