"Tsunami waves race across globe" by Mark Niesse, Associated Press | February 28, 2010
HONOLULU - With a rapt world watching the drama unfold on live television, a tsunami raced across a quarter of the globe yesterday and set off fears of a repeat of the carnage that caught the world off guard in Asia in 2004.
The tsunami delivered nothing more than a glancing blow to the United States and South Pacific, but Japan was bracing for a direct hit and waves up to 10 feet high by this afternoon. Scientists worried the giant wave could gain strength as it rounds the planet and consolidates.
The tsunami was spawned by a ferocious magnitude-8.8 earthquake in Chile that sent waves barreling north across the Pacific at the speed of a jetliner....

There were no immediate reports of widespread damage, injuries, or deaths in the United States or in the Pacific islands, but a tsunami that swamped a village on an island off Chile killed at least five people and left 11 missing.
It was still possible that the tsunami would gain strength as it heads to Japan, and nearly 50 countries and island chains remained under tsunami warnings from Antarctica to Russia.
Past South American earthquakes have had deadly effects across the Pacific.
A tsunami after a magnitude-9.5 quake that struck Chile in 1960, the largest earthquake ever recorded, killed about 140 people in Japan, 61 in Hawaii, and 32 in the Philippines....
The tsunami raised fears that the Pacific could fall victim to the type of killer waves that killed 230,000 people in the Indian Ocean in 2004 the morning after Christmas. During that disaster, there was little to no warning and much confusion about the impending waves....

I guess they happen so often it isn't "news" is it?
TAIPEI - A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Taiwan today, terrifying residents, disrupting communications, and triggering at least one large fire. Local news reports said several people were injured.
No tsunami alert was issued. The quake was centered in the same mountainous region of rural Kaohsiung County that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people in August....
Kuo Kai-wen, director of the Central Weather Bureau’s Seismology Center, said the quake was not geologically related to the massive temblor that hit Chile on Saturday, but its intensity was unusual for the area.
“This is the biggest quake to hit this region in more than a century,’’ he said.
If the MSM plucks a HAARP but the Boston Globe doesn't hear it, does it make a sound?
The quake’s epicenter was near the town of Jiashian. Earthquakes frequently rattle Taiwan, but most are minor and cause little or no damage.
Happens all the time so no need to put it in print.
Too many "terrorists" to report on, right, MSM?
